Mobile clinics and community health
Health promotion is part of the work: mobile units that take care out to the neighbourhoods, and activities run jointly with the community around the hospital.
Every mother.Every child.Every hour.
Al-Aamaal opened in 2025 in Mogadishu — maternity, paediatrics and neonatal intensive care in one building, with an emergency service that never closes.

A day with the mobile clinic
Photographs from one outreach day: the stand going up, the queue, the consultations, the medicines handed over.
The banner goes up, and lists what is on offer. The stand goes up in the neighbourhood. Word travels: the yard fills up. Health promotion comes before the queue. Waiting to be called. A nurse calls the next name. The consultation table. Seen one at a time. The record is written by hand. Temperature, one by one. Blood pressure, at the same table. Gloves on, between one patient and the next. A dose is prepared. Two pairs of hands at the dispensing end. What is left to give out. Medicines handed over. The last queue of the day. What the day came with.
Mogadishu’s first private hospital for mothers and children
Al-Aamaal Specialist Hospital, established in 2025, is a healthcare facility dedicated to providing safe, accessible, and quality medical care for mothers, children, and the wider community. In addition to specialised maternal and paediatric services, the hospital provides emergency care, vaccination, and a range of medical specialties under one roof.
Inside the hospital
Every photograph here was taken in the building. Nothing is a stock image.
Infant incubator unit
Warmth, humidity and filtered air held steady around a premature newborn for days at a time, with a monitor and oxygen beside it. It buys stability, not access — a baby leaves it as soon as they can hold their own temperature.
Operating theatre
For what needs sterile conditions, anaesthesia and a team around the table. The lamp and the gas machine are what separate a theatre from a treatment room — examinations and minor procedures belong outside it.
Delivery room
Built for birth: the table takes the positions labour needs. Surgery is not done here — that goes to the theatre.
Inpatient ward
Beds for patients who have to stay: observation, a drip, recovery. Curtains give privacy between beds, not constant monitoring.
Inpatient ward
Mother and newborn in one room, the cot within reach — for recovering and feeding. Not for a baby who needs a machine.
Beyond treatment
Not everything the hospital does happens at a bedside.
Seminars and training
The hospital holds seminars and training sessions. Teaching is part of what it does, not something that happens somewhere else.
Visits, in both directions
Colleagues and institutions come to Al-Aamaal, and Al-Aamaal goes to them.
