MOGADISHU, Jan. 8 (Xinhua) -- The UN migration agency said Friday it has donated telemedicine devices to help Somalia provide improved healthcare services in hospitals and clinics across the country.
The International Organization for Migration (IOM) said through funding from the multi-donor Somalia Humanitarian Fund (SHF), it handed over digital devices and office equipment to the ministry of health to support the introduction of telemedicine in Somalia's health system.
"This project will link doctors in Somalia with experts abroad and in other parts of the country to complement the diaspora program which physically places diaspora doctors in the country," Kerry Kyaa, IOM's Senior Health expert, said in a statement issued in Mogadishu.
