Why This Matters
In parts of Somaliland, reaching a doctor can be difficult. Not only is it a matter of time, it’s a matter of distance. With your generous support, Penny Appeal Canada’s Mobile Health Clinic has made access to healthcare easier for those most in need in Somaliland.
The Mobile Medical Clinic
Many communities, especially those who are internally displaced, drought-affected, or living in hard-to-reach rural villages. Healthcare access remains critically limited. Many families must travel tens or even hundreds of kilometers in search of primary and basic medical care. Oftentimes, there is no guarantee of proper treatment once they arrive. Even government hospitals are often too far, too costly, or poorly equipped.
That is why Penny Appeal Canada has been working to fund a Mobile Medical Clinic: to bridge the gap between people and access to healthcare, ensuring every person, regardless of where they live, can access quality medical care.
How Does a Mobile Medical Clinic Work?
The Mobile Medical Clinic is a fully equipped medical facility on wheels, powered by cost efficient technology and staffed by a dedicated team of medical professionals:
- Doctor – Handles diagnosis, treatment, and patient referrals
- Lab Technician – Provides on-site lab testing and results
- Midwife – Delivers prenatal and postnatal care, birth assistance, and women’s health education
- Nurse – Offers immunizations, wound care, nutrition screening, and essential health education
Our mobile medical team provides more than checkups. By combining direct care with education, this Mobile Medical Clinic is helping ensure families not only get better but also stay healthy through:
- Outpatient care for common conditions
- Maternal and reproductive health services
