Healthcare in Somalia

With 11 Tuberculosis clinics set up in Somalia , Muslim Aid has taken further steps to ensure the disease is managed. MA Somalia are installing the Gene Expert MTB/RIF in one of the TB clinics in Mogadishu - a cartridge based automated diagnostic test that can identify mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) and resistance to rifampicin (RIF), a drug used to combat TB. In 2013, the Somalia Muslim Aid team also attended a TB review meeting in Kampala, Uganda, to discuss the issue of drug resistance to TB medication, which is on the increase.

Muslim Aid will take a leading role in minimising the risk of the disease spreading, by having a special site at the national TB hospital unit in Mogadishu. Staff members have also recently been trained by MA to deal with HIV screening and patient referrals.

We are a faith-based British international charity that provides help to people who are victims of natural disasters or conflict or suffering from poverty, hunger, disease, homelessness, injustice, deprivation or lack of skills and economic opportunities.
