HELLO WORLD!!

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
