HEALTH SYSTEM AND CIMIC IN SOMALIA

Mogadishu.

In recent weeks, inside the International Campus of Mogadishu, base of the EUTM (European Union Training Mission) headquarters, the inauguration ceremony of Italian military contingent CIMIC project took place in favor of the public health facility "Mother Child Health Center" of the Somali capital. 

The project, requested by the Director General of the Somali Ministry of Health, made possible the renovation of one of the largest gynecological and pediatric clinics in the capital through the removal of all the damaged parts of the building, the refurbishment of plaster, the roofing, the water-sewer system as well as the installation of doors and windows. 

The delivery ceremony of the project, carried out in accordance with the rules aimed at the contrast of COVID-19, was attended by the EUTM-S Mission Force Commander, Brigade General Antonello De Sio and the Deputy Mayor of Mogadishu, Mrs Basma Omar Ahmed. 

The humanitarian project has been possible thanks to the liaison activity carried out by the CIMIC cell of IT-NSE composed of personnel from the Multinational CIMIC Group, the only unit in Italy with these specialists.
