Bilis Qooqaani

Bilis Qooqaani is a town in the Afmadow district of the Lower Juba (Jubbada Hoose) region of southern Somalia.

Bilis Qooqaani its same as many towns in southern Somalia in terms of safety and lifestyle, many populations depend on livestock, It is one of the poorest and most at-risk cities in the country and there is a great need for assistance.

The two-decade civil war has virtually destroyed the livelihoods of this community and, as a result, there are high rates of illiteracy, diseases, and poverty.

Due to a lack of healthcare facilities, women in this area deliver in their houses with the help of midwives who too do not have the training and the resources necessary to handle complicated deliveries.

The objectives of the clinic are to provide maternity and general health care services to Qoqaani and nearby villages.
