MAGAN Facilitates Skills Development Placement for Community Birth Attendant at Edna Adan Hospital
23 May 2026 | Hargeisa, Somaliland
MAGAN Organization has successfully facilitated the placement of Ms. Hodan Ismail, a selected community Traditional Birth Attendant (TBA) from IIMAAN Village, at Edna Adan University Hospital as part of its ongoing commitment to improving maternal healthcare services in underserved communities.
The placement follows a community-led selection process conducted by MAGAN to identify an experienced and trusted local woman who could strengthen maternal and newborn care support within the village. Ms. Hodan was selected based on her long-standing experience assisting mothers during childbirth and the confidence placed in her by community members.
On 23 May 2026, MAGAN representatives held a productive meeting with Edna Adan Ismail to discuss practical capacity-building support for Ms. Hodan. Following the meeting, an agreement was reached for Ms. Hodan to participate in a seven-day practical training and experience program, covering both day and night shifts to ensure broader exposure to maternal and newborn healthcare practices.
The practical placement will provide valuable hands-on learning opportunities in safe delivery procedures and maternal care services. In support of this initiative, Edna Adan Hospital generously agreed to provide accommodation support throughout the training period to strengthen Ms. Hodan’s learning experience.
Upon completion of the training program, Ms. Hodan will return to IIMAAN Village, where she will continue supporting pregnant women and promoting safer delivery practices within her community.
This initiative reflects MAGAN’s continued commitment to building local capacity and strengthening community-based healthcare systems to improve maternal and newborn health outcomes in marginalized communities.
“Investing in local knowledge and skills creates stronger communities and safer futures for mothers and children.”
