SIMAD University Medical Campus
This campus provides Somalia with one of the highest rates of medical profession impact in the world—a considerable achievement, and one that is highly needed to restore capacity and stability into a healthcare system destroyed by years of conflict.


The focus of SIMAD University Medical Campus is the creation of a centre for domestic capacity building related to the development of a modern, responsive and dynamic healthcare sector in Somalia.

In the coming decade, Somalia will develop its own doctors, nurses, technicians and medical professionals to meet the challenges of its domestic healthcare needs, provide stability to citizens, and enable the treatment of all medical issues at home—in Somalia.

Somalia faces the daunting problem of eliminating poverty and diseases made worse due to the lack of an effective health care workforce.

The solution to this desperate situation is the development of the SIMAD University Medical Campus, a state-of-the-art modern teaching hospital in the heart of Mogadishu.

The Goals and Build-Out
In looking to reach this ambitious goal, SIMAD University needs the philanthropic support from regional bodies for a total of $52,000,000 USD to build and equip the Medical Campus.

It actually looks like a university setting -- campus and all. Congrats to the designers. Some of the so-called Somali universities I see on TV are an eyesore in an eyesore neighborhood.
