Abdullah bin Salem al-Nuaimi recently inaugurated a central medicine warehouse in Somalia’s Banadir region. Qatar Charity built the 450 square meter facility with funding from donors in Qatar. It will supply medicines to over 17 health centers across 20 districts.

The warehouse includes 360 square meters of storage space, plus offices and service areas. Advanced cooling systems and digital management systems will help maintain medicine quality and track inventory. Officials expect the warehouse to improve the consistent delivery of medications to health institutions.

Qatar Charity completed 24 healthcare projects in Somalia last year, reaching more than 143,000 people. Dr. Abdirahman Ahmed Mahmoud noted the warehouse will ease the burden of medical supply management across the region, but long-term funding for operations and maintenance remains a key consideration.
