The Banaadir Regional Administration (BRA) has taken over all health management services from the federal Ministry of Health.
This was announced on February 7 when Mogadishu Mayor Omar Filish, who is also the Governor of Banaadir Region, met Dr. Fawziya Abikar Nur, the Minister of Health.
The two leaders held their meeting in Mogadishu.
With this latest development, BRA would now be in charge of managing all health services in the region.
However, critics believe that the move is not right since Mogadishu is not a federal state.
In their view, this development should be replicated in all other regional states around the East African nation.
