The Private Sector Partnerships in Health (PSPH) project, implemented by the Somali Research and Development Institute (SORDI) in collaboration with DT Global and the Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute (Swiss TPH), supported Amal Grand Hospital in hosting a groundbreaking product launch event at Damal Hotel, Hargeisa. The event marked a significant step in making advanced healthcare services more accessible and affordable for Somaliland’s communities.
Amal Grand Hospital used the platform to introduce high-demand services such as joint replacement surgeries, neurosurgical care, and chronic disease management. These services are designed to address critical healthcare gaps and reduce reliance on expensive foreign medical travel. By offering these specialized services locally, the hospital is fostering trust in Somaliland’s healthcare system and ensuring more residents can access the care they need.
The event brought together stakeholders from both public and private sectors, including government representatives, healthcare professionals, and public health officials. Discussions focused on strengthening healthcare referral networks and addressing challenges within Somaliland’s healthcare landscape. The collaborative spirit of the event highlighted the importance of partnerships in driving sustainable healthcare improvements.
One of the event’s highlights was the sharing of real-life success stories and patient testimonies. Former patients who had previously traveled abroad for treatment spoke about their positive experiences with Amal Grand’s local services. These stories showcased the hospital’s growing capabilities and reinforced its commitment to delivering international-quality care at a fraction of the cost.
While the event was widely praised, stakeholders noted the importance of improving gender inclusivity in future gatherings. Amal Grand Hospital and its partners are committed to ensuring more equitable representation and participation in healthcare initiatives moving forward.
This event symbolizes a shared vision of a stronger healthcare system in Somaliland. By collaborating through the PSPH project, Amal Grand Hospital and its partners are working toward a future where advanced medical care is both accessible and affordable. Together, they are bridging gaps in healthcare provision and paving the way for a healthier Somaliland.
