Somaliland

Somaliland is located in a strategic point in the Horn of Africa: the territory is a stability point in a region endangered by civil wars, piracy, Islamic extremism and periodic dryness. That's why in 2013, part of MedAcross' current Board of Directors decided to build a children's hospital in Hargeisa, Somaliland's main city, with the goal of creating a safe place for many children affected by physical and food insecurity in the area.
In 2022, the doctors who built the hospital will return together with fondazione Specchio dei tempi to expand health care in refugee camps and to create the neonatology department within the hospital.
