Bahrain Specialist Hospital in Somalia:
Due to the dire need for a health facility to serve the people of Somalia, Bahrain Specialist Hospital was built on an area of 17,500 square meters to serve about 3 million people and no less than 22,000 cases per year. The hospital offers various treatment services to the brotherly people of Somalia.
It includes many medical specialties, such as a specialized ophthalmology and ENT centre. Being an integrated hospital, the hospital contains many facilities such as reception, waiting lounge, operation rooms, examination rooms, delivery rooms, emergency department, returning patient rooms, in addition to nurse rooms, lunch hall, pharmacy, 10 wards for women, 10 wards for men, doctor rooms, and management department.
Bahrain Scientific Complex
The Bahrain Scientific Complex, which includes Mogadishu National University, comprises the College of Human Medicine, College of Veterinary Medicine, Faculty of Law, Faculty of Sharia, Faculty of Political Sciences, Faculty of Education, Faculty of Agriculture, and Finance and Administrative Sciences Institute that delivers specialized training courses. The Complex also includes reception lounge, 8 education and training halls, lunch and kitchen lounge, a manager’s room, and trainers’ room.

Water Wells Project for Food Security
RHF dug 10 artesian wells, 300-metre deep each, across Somalia to serve more than 102,000 people. These wells will pump water to about 250 villages through a network of pipes. Many families have moved to settle down around those well sites. This is because Somali citizens use the water in their daily lives, water their livestock and irrigate their land.
Sight Restoration and Correction Surgeries
In cooperation with Islamic Relief Worldwide, RHF conducted sight restoration and correction operations for around 4,000 Somali citizens as part of the charitable contributions of the Kingdom of Bahrain for the relief of the people of Somalia.
Relief Shipments
Four shipments of more than 200 tons of relief, medicine and food supplies were sent to our brothers in Somalia during the wave of drought that hit the country. Moreover, a delegation comprising representatives of local charities and the Bahrain Red Crescent Society was sent.
Bahrain National Ophthalmology Centre
In recognition of the Kingdom’s leading role in supporting the Somali people, the Somali authorities announced that the National Ophthalmology Centre will be re-named “Bahrain National Ophthalmology Centre”.
