Healthcare in Somalia

Life expectancy in Somalia, 1950 to 2019

Healthcare in Somalia is largely in the private sector. It is regulated by the Ministry of Health of the Federal Government of Somalia. In March 2013, the central authorities launched the Health Sector Strategic Plans (HSSPs), a new national health system that aims to provide universal basic healthcare to all citizens by 2016. Somalia has the highest prevalence of mental illness in the world, according to the World Health organization.[1] Some polls have ranked Somalis as the happiest people in Sub-Saharan Africa.[2]
