On International Day of Zero Tolerance for FGM, Somaliland passed a fatwa against FGM type 3. It took us 42 years to reach this day, but, this is not the end of the battle. FGM must be completely eradicated in my country and everywhere in the world." - EA

So much to celebrate today. 15 years ago our hospital was born: thousands of babies delivered, patients treat, students trained. So thankful
