NHPC and WHO Somalia Discuss Strengthening Health Regulation Cooperation

Talks focus on joint work to regulate the country’s health sector, build Council capacity, and improve the quality of health services in Somalia.

A delegation from the National Health Professionals Council (NHPC), led by the Secretary General, Dr. Mohamed Adow, held a working meeting with the leadership of the World Health Organization (WHO) office in Somalia, headed by the Deputy WHO Representative and Acting Representative, Dr. Mohamed Kamil.

The meeting focused on strengthening cooperation between the NHPC and WHO — working together to regulate the country’s health sector, build the capacity of the Council’s workforce, and improve the quality of health services in Somalia.

Cooperation with the World Health Organization supports the NHPC’s core mandate under Act Lr.31: to register and license health professionals, accredit facilities and training institutions, and safeguard the Somali public through strong, well-resourced regulation.
