Edna Adan Maternity Hospital
Save a girl, Change the World recognizes and pays tribute to the Edna Adan Maternity Hospital. Edna Adan Maternity Hospital opened in 2002 and now provides a much higher standard of patient care than is available elsewhere in Somaliland.
The health of the people of Somaliland is among the worst in Africa, with one of the highest Maternal and Child Mortality rates in the world. Every year, one baby in eight dies in infancy while nearly 4000 Somali women die in childbirth. This tragedy can be attributed in large part to the long civil war which brought about the death or departure of nearly all of the country's trained health care professionals (Edna Hospital of Somaliland, 2010).
In a place that was without hope came the Edna Adan Maternity Hospital. Now a thriving center for women, children, and many members of the community. Maternal and child health is vital for a healthy functioning society. Safe, accessible, and affordable care for women and children is a basic human right.
The hospital is also a teaching hospital and accepts volunteers, particularly those in the medical profession. I can’t think of anything more rewarding and life changing.
