Empowering Communities for a Healthier Future
In Somalia, the health of mothers and children is not just a medical concern; it’s the foundation of society. At Daryeel Bulsho Guud (DBG), we’ve taken this to heart, ensuring that our maternal and child health (MCH) program reaches those most in need, especially in underserved areas.
The Growing Need for MCH Services
Our commitment is evident in the numbers. The population relying on our MCH facilities has doubled from 20,000 to 40,000, signaling an urgent need for expanded services. It’s a call we’ve answered with determination and care.
Collaborative Efforts for Better Health
Our strategy is collaborative. We work hand-in-hand with local health authorities to enhance maternal and child health services. This includes rehabilitating MCH facilities, equipping them with necessary medical tools, and ensuring regular professional health visits for quality care.
Our Impactful Interventions
The results speak for themselves. Three MCH facilities have been successfully rehabilitated, with weekly monitoring ensuring effective service delivery. Notably, the number of births in these facilities has more than doubled, indicating enhanced capacity and trust in our services.
Focus on Quality Care
Our primary focus is quality healthcare for mothers and children. This means improving infrastructure, modernizing equipment, and training staff to manage the increasing number of patients and deliveries efficiently.
Tangible Results, Real Impact
The impact of our efforts is profound. The rehabilitated MCHs have served approximately 3,720 mothers and 19,480 children under five in the last quarter alone. More importantly, we’ve seen a reduction in neonatal mortality cases, from 2 to zero. These numbers not only reflect our commitment but also the trust and reliance of the communities we serve.
