Healthy communities start with the basics. Let's build them together. 💧

#Somaliland’s Restoration on the 18th of May was built on resilience, but it was sustained by the hands of its healthcare heroes.

During the war era, these brave men and women became the shields of the community, treating the wounded and keeping hope alive under the harshest conditions.

Today, the nation honors their legacy. From the field medics of yesterday to the healthcare professionals of today, their dedication remains the heartbeat of the nation.

Somaliland Ha Noolaato, with love Team SHE

For us, change is a constant, and we will continue to change – not for the sake of change, but for the sake of the countries and people we serve.

That is why we have chosen as the theme for this year’s World Health Assembly, “Reshaping global health: a shared responsibility”. #WHA79

Better health Somaliland wishes the people of Somaliland joyful 18th May celebrations. #18thMay #Somaliland

Hantaviruses are a group of viruses that spread to humans through exposure to rodents.

People typically develop #hantavirus infection from exposure to the infected urine, saliva, or droppings of rodents, usually rats and mice. The risk of infection is highest among people who clean, work, play, or live in spaces with infected dried rodent droppings and urine. Rarely, hantavirus infection can be acquired through rodent bites or scratches or by eating contaminated food.

📌 This JAMA Patient Page describes hantavirus infection and the syndromes it can cause, as well as treatment options and prevention measures: https://t.co/kWSaqYta1g

We’re pleased to see growing international interest in health systems and public health resilience in Somaliland.
