1. Faculty Of Health Science (FHS) Background

The Faculty of Health Science (FHS) was established jointly under the competent leadership group of dedicated members of both Doctors worldwide Turkey (DWWT) and Benadir University in academic year 2013/2014. This was as a result strong values and mutual partnership among DWWT and BU to accomplish their goals. Yet again, the idea to creating this faculty was obligated the realization to consequences of fading mid-level health work force in Somalia. DWWT’s role was to support the project financially at initial stages and make gradual transfer of funding and sustainability of faculty to BU.  Presently, the entire faculty programmes is run by BU without further support from DWWT.

The main motive was guided by the philosophy ‘To serve humanity is to serve the almighty’. The main purpose is to produce highly skilled mid-level health care workers to bridge the cap of current health care delivery system and to ensure fair health human resources distribution in Somalia. The current FHS running departments of first degree levels are Medical Laboratory Science, Midwifery, Nursing and Public Health. Further, professional diploma programmes were planned to instigate when reasonable is enrolled. Diploma programmes include Community Health, Monitoring and Evaluation and Nutrition and Dietetics among many others.

Each department is led by senior lecture with wide experience and proficient in his/her field. The strategy to provide such combination of well-trained health disciplines was considered the best tool to trim down maternal and infant mortality rates, prevent transmission of communicable disease and address the current global health burden in Somalia.

The School has competent and qualified academicians who are noted for their stellar teaching abilities which one put to use are able to produce competent products. The lecturers have the capacity for transformation of clinical skills, experiences and scholar activities which are places putting them the cutting edge of the medical world. Currently, the Faculty assists various departments each offers one specific disciplines intended mid level health work force. Other programs such as Medical Imaging, Dental Health, Ophthalmology, anesthesia and physiotherapy are planned to join hastily. The programs complement each other and provide high quality of health delivery services.

1. Faculty Fundamental statement

Main Objectives

To produce highly skills mid-level human resources for health to mitigate the current health burden and subsequently make a limit for the wide spread of health problems, safeguard and promote the health of public.

Vision

To provide one of the best leading healthcare institution in the region providing outstanding treatment, health services and quality of medical education.

Mission

To produce a cadre of high quality health workers equipped with knowledge, practice and high moral values, dedicated for suffering human physically and psychologically in the nation and across the geographical boundaries.

Goal

To improve health services of Somali community through training mid-level health professionals that reflects the country’s development’s needs.

2. Faculty Programmes

In principle, the faculty was runs two programmes to make students eligible for bachelor degree and professional Diploma.

Programme 1

Four years programme designed for new students graduated from secondary Schools with no background, skills and experience in health related areas.

1. Medical Laboratory Science
2. Midwifery
3. Nursing
4. Public Health

Programme 2

Six months or one year professional diploma programme offered to students graduated from Secondary schools or have a good insight on background of health. These programmes include the followings:

1. Community Health
2. Monitoring and Evaluation
3. Nutrition and Dietetics

In Combination of both programmes, the faculty of health science is targeting to produce the largest possible number of mid-level health professionals to reflect the critical shortages of human resources for health (HRM), to balance the skewed skill mix and uneven geographical distribution of the health workforce that pose major barriers to achieving the anticipated access to quality health services in Somalia.

3. Practical Session

Production of highly skilled health professionals is dependent on the extent of well-designed practical sessions completed by the students.

To achieve this Model, it was planned for the students to use various health facilities with modern equipment and technology either public or private sectors.

Deans’s Message

In Somalia, the need of dental care as well as of Dental Schools and of suitable dental equipment and material, was highlighted by the researchers Barmes and Hussein already in the early 80^th on behalf of the World Health Organization.

Health care in Somalia were shaped by various administrations that adopted different policies, priorities, and health care service approaches, often influenced by local and international paradigms and resolutions.

Although there were several milestones in the history of general health care Services in Somalia, oral health care has never been given any consideration.

In 2013, a study done by myself in a rural area of northern Somalia showed high DMF . I also put afloat that certain factors that affect oral health of our country remained exactly as in 1980 including:

a) Shortage of Dentists

b) Total lack of Dental auxiliary

c) Total lack of Dental schools

I believe that the most urgent step is the formation of various levels of dental manpower. This need was supported by the shrewd Rector and the Foundation of Benadir University who recently approved the establishment of this new Dental Faculty, which I am the Dean.

However, the Dental Team of Faculty of Dentistry of B.U. incorporates a coordinator and a number of dental lecturers. From academic year 2016-2017, the registration is officially open. the first group of dental students have been enrolled. We accept local applicants as well as Somali candidates from abroad.

I and my Team have the goal of bringing the standard of oral health in Somalia internationally.

Finally, we would like to enable a free dental basic service for low income people located at main BU Campus, Km13, Afgoi Road.

Thank You.
