Qatar based doctors on surgical mission saving lives in Somalia

A local team of surgeons from Doha has travelled to the Somali Capital Mogadishu to perform 200 operations at one of the city’s main hospitals.

The mission is the second of its kind to be launched by QRCS, at a cost of QR 336,150. The doctors will work out of the ‘De Martini’ general hospital in Mogadishu. Aside from the actual operations they will also carry out initial examinations, pre- and post-procedure care, and issue medical prescriptions free of charge.

So far, 80 major surgeries have been performed (thyroidectomy, laparotomy, cholecystectomy, amputation, abdominal hernia repair, removal of abdominal tumours, hemorrhoidectomy, urinary fistula surgery, breast cancer surgery, reconstructive burn surgery, removal of benign tumours, varicocelectomy, and C-section), according to a statement from QRCS. 

The ongoing mission will cover critical cases at the hospital, Dr. Abdul Razak Yousef, Director of the ‘De Martini’ General Hospital, said. 

The poor health care system in Somalia is one of the biggest problems facing the country today. Somalis have been struggling with violence and conflict which has devastated the country for over three decades. 

More than half of the population have no access to any health services. Moreover,  the country lacks qualified doctors and the medics providing care in local hospitals are untrained to conduct surgical operations of any kind.

For that reason, doctors and medical professionals in Qatar were sent by QRCS to Somalia in a bid to help people in urgent need of healthcare and emergency surgeries. 

QRCS aims to leave behind a legacy from its humanitarian trip through training the hospital’s medical staff and engaging them in the operating room. By doing so, more qualified doctors and specialists will be ready to serve their community. 

This latest mission by the charity mainly aims to serve the medical needs of newly displaced people and those affected by recent conflicts located in Mogadishu and the Benaadir Region.

QRCS has been conducting health projects in Somalia for more than a decade now. Previously it helped carry out operations in several medical centers in the country including Afgooye General Hospital and Multidrug-Resistant TB Centre.

In 2020 I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Normally, the way we treat cancer is with some combination of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. In my case because of the metastasis it was also not the best option for me. The lump in my breast was too large for a lumpectomy and I opted not to have a mastectomy doctors told me to increase my vitamin D level because this helps cancer patients in a variety of ways. Initially I took vitamin D supplements, but trust me it was not getting any better so I came online to see if there was any possible way I could fight this disease . I saw a lot of testimonies of how Dr Ohikhobo cures Cancer and all kinds of diseases with natural herbs so I decided to give it a try. I contacted him to see if it was possible for him to help me get rid of this disease. I was amazed by the results. After taking his natural herbs for just 21 days I got cured completely and my life is back to normal again. I will forever be grateful to Dr Ohikhobo. Below is his Contact info for me. I believe there is no disease this man can't cure.
