From 3-5 March 2012, a WHO-led mission visited Baidoa town, Bay region. After the recent liberation of the area, the Baidoa hospital re-opened and was able to scale up the provision of health services. During the visit, WHO installed an operating theatre in the hospital and provided medical equipment and supplies for direct service delivery for the treatment of injured patients. WHO will organize trainings for doctors and nurses on emergency surgical procedures and comprehensive emergency obstetric care.
