I am dr.abdullahi awale , i am working keysaney hospital, if i try to give u a full information about keysaney hospital.
Keysaney hospital is the only medical facility in Mogadishu North offering surgical services for the war-wounded. The transfer of casualties to other medical facilities is hazardous in the current situation.

Keysaney hospital was opened by the ICRC in 1992 and handed over to the Somali Red Crescent Society in 1994. Over the past 15 years the hospital has provided the Somali population with inestimable services.

Mogadishu is a difficult place to live and the situation is very volatile. Many weapons circulate in the city. Somalia is still among the countries with the highest number of weapon-wounded per year in Africa. Since 1992, Keysaney Hospital has treated over 60,000 people with gunshot injuries.
 

We receive more than 10 patients every day that suffer from wounds inflicted by gunshots or grenade explosions and another two or three with stab wounds. During the recent fighting most of the injured were combatants, however, patients are now often civilians, even women and children, caught up in the crossfire or injured as a result of crime, looting or robbery. To give an example, my freind was ambushed in his car. The assailants fired at him and the bullet remained in his body. We are treating him in Keysaney now. Fortunately, his life is not in danger.

Technically, we are very well prepared. We have all the necessary skills, equipment and medication. Most of our staff has worked in the hospital for 16 years. They have learned to live with the reality in Somalia. Every morning when the nurses and doctors come to work they expect to receive injured patients. Some people have even been treated at the hospital several times.

Our job is to make sure they get better, whether they need our help once or ten times. The biggest challenge is to convince the wounded to stay in the hospital until they are cured. We estimate that about 500 people with freshly dressed wounds are still scattered in Mogadishu and the surrounding cities. They left the hospitals much too early. Many of them feared getting arrested. If they do not get proper treatment they can die, especially the ones with severe wounds such as abdominal injuries.
