ATMIS troops provide medical supplies to Dhobley General Hospital

Dhobley, 1 September 2023 - Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) troops serving with the
African Union Transition Mission in Somalia (ATMIS), have presented a consignment
of medical supplies to Jubaland’s Dhobley General Hospital to help improve quality
healthcare in the region.

It included assorted medicines, syringes, surgical aids, baby feeding recipes and hand
sanitisers, among others.

"The medical supplies we have donated will help the hospital to improve on quality
healthcare delivery to the local population. We will also endeavour to assist the
hospital with other technical medical support when needed,” said the Senior Medical
Officer at the ATMIS Level Two hospital in Dhobley, Lt. Col Stanley Ng’anga.

As part of their support to local communities, ATMIS KDF medical personnel in March
this year launched a programme at the Dhobley Level Two hospital to mentor local
medical students on surgical procedures.

“It is a six-month mentorship programme to support them on operating room
procedures and teach them how to incubate patients and perform surgical
procedures,” added Lt. Col. Nganga.

The Director of Dhobley General Hospital, Abdinasir Mohamed, who received the
items, thanked ATMIS troops for their continued support of the health facility through
the provision of medical supplies, staff training, and the handling of critically ill
patients.

“We are grateful for the medical supplies and the invaluable support provided by the
KDF troops who continue to support us on admissions and patient referrals. While
conducting operations in this region, they continue to responded to our medical needs
as a community,” said Mohamed.

Established through the collaborative efforts of the local community, the Dhobley
General hospital is mainly supported by ATMIS troops and other international partners
in Somalia.

The facility has the capacity to handle a variety of medical needs including paediatric
care.

Conversely, the ATMIS Level Two hospital in Dhobley handles approximately one
hundred referral cases from the Dhobley General hospital every month.

Beyond their combat activities to ensure stability and security in the Jubaland region,
ATMIS KDF troops make meaningful contributions to the health facility, including the
provision of food, medicines, building materials and medical equipment.

The ATMIS troops also engage in other Civil-Military-Cooperation (CIMIC), activities


including drilling boreholes, refurbishing hospitals and schools.
