MOGADISHU — The Commander of the Somali National Army (SNA), Brigadier General Ibrahim Mohamed Mohamud, made a significant official visit to the central military hospital in Mogadishu today to personally evaluate the recovery of wounded soldiers.
Evaluating Medical Capacity and Soldier Welfare
Leading a specialized team of high-ranking military officers, the Commander concentrated his visit on assessing the medical care and overall well-being of soldiers who were wounded during the ongoing, high-intensity combat operations against extremist groups.

Boosting Morale and Combat Readiness
During the briefings, the military leadership evaluated the continuous level of medical care provided to the troops, strictly verifying that the armed forces have adequate healthcare resources and access to advanced medical services.
