Somalia National Institute of Health

Somalia National Institute of Health Under the MoH, Somalia's NIH focuses on addressing public health issues in Somalia through innovative projects and research.

After seeing the absence of an institution with the capability to develop and implement advanced and innovative public health projects and research in Somalia, the establishment of the NIH under the MOH&HS was envisaged with the cooperation and coordination of the national and international partners with the idea of strengthening the FMOH’s capability to develop a more effective and sustainable health care system in the country. Established in 2013, NIH focuses on the national public health issues whereby the data generated will be used for tracking health risks, identifying emerging problems, improving treatment, and evaluating programs. The institute will provide evidence-based advice to the Ministry of Health and Human Services (MOH&HS) and to the Regional Authorities responsible for health. It will also act as the national reference laboratory for infectious diseases.

Somalia and Nigeria received the greatest relative increases in ODA+ to reproductive, maternal, newborn, and child health.

The increase in reproductive, maternal, newborn, and child health funding over the period 2003–13 is encouraging. Further increases in funding will be needed to accelerate maternal mortality reduction while keeping a high level of investment in sexual and reproductive health and in child health.
