Today, the Somalia NCD alliance was proud to join the Ministry of Health- Somalia, IRC Somalia, Somali International University, Kalkal Hospital, UK International Development, and organizations of persons with disabilities (PWDOs) in commemorating World Disability Day 2025 at Hotel Afrik, Mogadishu.

From powerful testimonies by PWDO representatives to insightful presentations from health and academic institutions, the message was clear:

โ€œDisability-inclusive health care is not charityโ€”it is a right.โ€

Throughout the event, partners emphasized the urgent need to expand rehabilitation services, strengthen inclusive policies, ensure accessible health insurance, and dismantle social and structural barriers that continue to marginalize people with disabilities.

We echo the call from the ๐ƒ๐ž๐ฉ๐ฎ๐ญ๐ฒ ๐Œ๐ข๐ง๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ๐ž๐ซ ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐‡๐ž๐š๐ฅ๐ญ๐ก, ๐ƒ๐ซ. ๐Œ๐จ๐ก๐š๐ฆ๐ž๐ ๐‡๐š๐ฌ๐ฌ๐š๐ง ๐Œ๐จ๐ก๐š๐ฆ๐ž๐ (๐๐ฎ๐ฅ๐š๐ฅ๐ž):

โ€œPersons with disabilities are demanding their rightful place in our health system, our schools, our workforce, and our society. We must act together.โ€

As the Somalia NCD alliance, we remain committed to:

Advocating for disability-inclusive NCD services and rehabilitation coverage

Supporting policy reforms that protect the rights of persons with disabilities

Promoting accessibility in all health programs

Strengthening partnerships with OPDs and community networks

Advancing a more equitable and inclusive health system across Somalia

Together, we can ensure that no person is left behind โ€” and that disability inclusion becomes a central pillar of Somaliaโ€™s health and development agenda.
