The New Kidney Unit Wing At Hargeisa Hospital Is Measurable Progress..remember, it is not only an equipment, but rather a whole unit. competant profesionals that wil educate and treat the puplic for free is a component of the unit.

However, Dr Moskowitz appears to be after our hard earned dollars. my reaction is to express our strong wish to have public health service by the people for the people

The Minister of Health has to set standards that is grounded in best practices to be implemented by the practicing professionals. The safety and well being of our citizens should be important and paramount.
