"Somalia: Life-saving assistance to people affected by the drought
Mothers or caregivers stay with the baby for the duration of the treatment. They receive three-meals a day and are trained on nutrition and proper breast-feeding habits. Bolay Hussein’s daughter is in the second phase of the treatment program at the centre.
More and more mothers are streaming into hospitals seeking life-saving treatment for their sick children. In Kismayo General Hospital, where one of the few stabilization centers in the country is located, admissions of children under the age of five have been on the rise since October last year. A similar center located in Baidoa Regional Hospital, in Somalia's central Bay region, is witnessing a similar trend. These two centers strictly cater for critical cases."
