Welcome to my blog, my name is
Mohamed Bobe; I am a medical doctor, trained in Uganda, currently working in
Hingalol, Sanaag region, Somalia. As a student I dreamed of working in a state
of the art Hospital, having a well furnished office and going to work with my
own car cooled by an AC. This was shattered by the reality at Home, the fact
that our health care system and infrastructure is in a situation of despair and
self pity! I decided not to run away from the reality but do what I can to
change the status quo of our country in general and that of the health care in
particular.
I started my first job in a remote village in
the most impoverished regions of Somaliland. What I experienced while working
for the nomadic pastoralists in Sanaag was so shocking and I decided to be a
blogger and share the world with the health crisis and the pitiable situation
of the Somali nomads.
I will be writing about the health care in the
horn and my series is called Nomadic Health Care. You can follow the stories through either of these hash tags #252HealthCare, #NomadicHealthCare. Or you can follow me directly on twitter, my handle is @ bobe_dr. I will share with you my
personal encounter as a firsthand experience in the form of narrative stories.
I believe we can change the situation one diagnosis at a time. We must do
what we can, with what we have, for what is needed in where we are! Nothing
matters but the patient’s life. Once again welcome aboard and stay tuned for my
series
Mohamed Bobe, MD.
