AMISOM donates medical supplies to HirShabelle State

Jowhar 05 July, 2020—Burundian soldiers serving under the African
Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) on Saturday donated medical
supplies to HirShabelle state, to help improve access to medical care by
local communities and mitigate hardships brought about by the COVID-
19 pandemic.
Officers from the Burundi National Defense Forces (BNDF) handed over
cartons of the medical supplies to HirShabelle authorities, led by the
state Minister for Women and Human Rights, Sa’adiya Mohamed Nur, in
a ceremony held at Jowhar airport.
AMISOM Sector 5 Chief Medical Officer, Captain Doctor Dionys
Zabagenzi, explained that the donation is intended to benefit the local
communities, after AMISOM instituted a lockdown on its bases as part of
its Covid-19 protocols, to stem the spread of the virus. Due to the
lockdown, local communities are not able to access AMISOM bases for
medical assistance.
“As you know the whole world is facing a big pandemic of coronavirus
and we decided to give some drugs to the local population to support
the health system of HirShabelle state, so they can treat our Somali
brothers and sisters,” Capt. Zabagenzi stated. The donated items were
sourced from Saudi Arabia and Burundi.
Ms. Sa’adiya noted that the donation was in response to a request by
HirShabelle state to AMISOM following an appeal by members of local
communities in Jowhar and Mahaday, who used to access medical
support in AMISOM camps.
“Due to Corona, AMISOM instituted a lockdown and people were not
able to access the camps for medical support. Since AMISOM at the
moment cannot reach those areas due to the lockdown, we convinced
AMISOM to handover the drugs to us so that we deliver them to the
communities and they (AMISOM) accepted. We will deliver the medical
supplies to local people through the MCHs run by the local doctors who
will deliver similar services provided by AMISOM.” Ms. Sa’adiya
explained.
Doctor Sharif Mohamud Ali, a local health worker in Jowhar lauded
AMISOM for the support, and pledged to ensure that the supplies reach
the intended beneficiaries, particularly, vulnerable communities affected
by Covid-19 and recurrent floods.
“We thank AMISOM for handing over a medical support meant for the
poor families in the Middle Shabelle region especially Jowhar district.
We will make sure that we deliver the supplies to poor people as soon as
possible,” Dr. Sharif said.
