The ICRC is the only organisation in Somalia that sees patients from the moment they are wounded or ill, all the way through to receiving healthcare, physical rehabilitation and social inclusion services and support.
“The programme helps ensure that people are not only safe to go home, but have livelihood opportunities when they leave and can become active participants in society. That holistic approach is embedded to support societal reintegration,” Morgan explained.
But while needs in Somalia – like in many other countries that have suffered from years of protracted conflict – are enormous, humanitarian resources are stretched thin.
“My objective is to continue to strengthen the programme’s financial sustainability while maintaining service quality,” he said.
“I said to our partners and centre managers – ‘let’s be more efficient, let’s reduce errors, let’s speed things up and make the quality of care as good as it can be.”
