Empowering Health for All in Somalia

Embedded within the core of READO’s mission is an unwavering dedication to ensuring the universal right to health and reproductive self-determination, particularly within the context of Somalia. Our multi-dimensional health programs transcend individual, social, and structural barriers, confronting the persistent challenges faced by communities in Somalia.

Our vision extends to 2030, where millions within Somalia will have the opportunity to exercise their right to health, with a particular emphasis on empowering women to assert their sexual and reproductive health rights.

  • READO’s focus is on building resilient, equitable, and accountable health systems capable of withstanding shocks and crises, while ensuring sustainable access to quality healthcare services for every individual in Somalia.

  • We recognize the insidious impact of economic and social inequities within Somalia, compounded by the ever-looming specter of humanitarian disasters, and the constraining grip of restrictive gender norms, particularly detrimental to the health outcomes of women and girls.

Even before the onset of the pandemic, health systems within Somalia grappled with inadequacies in addressing the sexual and reproductive health needs of the populations they served. READO’s initiatives aim to bridge these gaps and ensure comprehensive healthcare access for all in Somalia.
