In December 2024, the Somaliland Red Crescent Society (SRCS), in collaboration with the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), delivered 92 cartons of emergency medical supplies to Hargeisa Group Hospital.
This initiative was in response to a request from President Abdirahman Mohamed Abdillahi Irro, who highlighted the nation’s urgent need for medical assistance.
The Director General of the Ministry of Health, Dr. Mohamed Abdi Xergeeye, received the aid during a ceremony attended by officials from the Ministry of Health, SRCS, and ICRC.
The supplies were promptly distributed to hospitals in Hargeisa, Baligubadle, and Erigavo to address immediate healthcare needs.
With the meeting between President Irro and an ICRC/SRCS delegation taking place, this collaboration underscores the strong partnership between the Somaliland government and humanitarian organizations in addressing critical health challenges.
President Irro promises to bolster the working relationship between his administration and the ICRC as well as SRCS.
