Assessment of the capacity of health facilities in preventing and managing non-communicable diseases in selected regions of Somaliland
Though there are differences in the capacity of hospitals assessed, none of the hospitals met the WHO-PEN standard for human resources, equipment, and medicines for effective NCDs management. Interventions to train specialist health workers and laboratory technologists, procure advanced equipment, and update guidelines and referral systems in Somaliland are needed.
