  EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS & RESPONSE 


Free Medical Camp
Somali Youth for Peace and Development has carried out mobile medical camp for internally displaced people (IDPs) in Marerey and Afgoi of Lower Shabelle region.

With the help of small laboratory, the doctors have made free diagnosis and distributed drugs to the patients. Doctors also instructed the community on the ways they can use the prescribed medicine.

More than 1500 families have benefited from the medical camp organized by SYPD. According to a report prepared by the doctors, the majority of the patients who have been diagnosed were women and children.  

"The majority of the patients were suffering from diarrhea, malaria, malnutrition" said Dr. Osman Nune. 

The local community have warmly welcomed the SYPD initiative as many families can not afford to go to a private clinic. "My daughter has been shivering. When I brought her here, doctors said it is malaria, and they gave us drugs" said Muhubo Hassan, a mother of three.

Dr. Habeb also instructed the families on how they may cope up with the disasters. "The war and natural disasters have left negative impact on Somali people, mainly the women who are the most vulnerable in the society." said Dr. Habeb who was part of the medical team organized by SYPD. DR. Habeb, a specialist in mental health,   said we have provided free counseling to many traumatized women.

Mr. Abdulkadir Mohamed, the Executive Director of SYPD, has thanked the doctors and nurses who successfully conducted the mobile medical camp. "Having seen the gravity of the health situation in the IDP camps, we would like to organize several medical projects, but due to financial constraints we can't" said Mr. Abdulkadir.
