Burco, Somaliland – The President of the Republic of Somaliland, H.E. Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi Cirro, and his extensive delegation, currently on a working visit to the city of Burco, today laid the foundation stone for a historic project: a modern, multi-specialty hospital to be established in the city.
This hospital, which will become the largest and most modern medical facility in Somaliland and the wider Somali territories, is being funded by the President of the United Arab Emirates, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, and will consequently be named after him.
The new hospital is designed to provide diverse specialized healthcare services (Multi-Specialist Hospital) that are superior in both expertise and equipment, thereby eliminating the need for seeking medical services abroad.
The President stated that this project will bring broad benefits to the entire population of Somaliland, particularly to Burco and the eastern regions, as the communities in the Eastern regions will gain access to high-quality healthcare.
The President also noted that the construction of this modern hospital is part of the government’s fulfilled promises and its ongoing efforts to strengthen healthcare infrastructure and develop services essential to the lives of all Somaliland citizens.
Following the foundation-laying ceremony for the modern hospital in Burco, the President conducted an inspection visit to the Emergency Department of Burco General Hospital to assess the level of service and the essential needs of the facility. While there, he also met with patients and offered them his prayers.
In conclusion, the President of the Republic of Somaliland commended the people of Burco for their efforts, unity, and significant role in the development of the country.
