EDNA ADEN MATERNITY HOSPITAL
 
 

The new hospital was conceived by Edna Adan Ismail, a former World Health Organization representative in Djibouti, who is the principal donor. The project aims to bring better health standards for Somali people whose lives have been traumatised by the long running civil war and to train Somalis as nurses and medwives to make a permanent improvement to the lives of generations of Somalis.
