Edna Hospital, as you may be aware, is badly – urgently! – in need of a new ambulance. The old one is so unreliable that it cannot be sent outside of Hargeisa. When a life-and-death emergency threatens the life of a mother and her newborn baby, the hospital needs to be able to provide transportation wherever it is needed.
Somebody is giving away a Ford Ranger and Edna has her mind set on winning it for use as the Hospital Ambulance. You can help by taking a moment to vote here: Kjaer & Kjaer Facebook page. Where a photo of the hospital itself represents Edna Hospital

Hospital Profile
The Edna Adan University Hospital is situated in Hargeisa, Republic of Somaliland. The hospital is a non-profit charity that was built by Edna Adan Ismail who donated her UN pension and other personal assets to build the hospital in order to address the grave health problems that endanger the lives of women and children in the Horn of Africa.
The construction of the hospital was started on the 1st of January 1998, and as it progressed, private individuals, business people in Somaliland and elsewhere, as well as international organizations, also made valuable contributions enabling the hospital to become functional on the 9th of March, 2002.
The Project has the approval of the Government of Somaliland, and the Local Government of Hargeisa has donated the Land that measures 9,600 Square meters. The hospital is on the main road near the Bank of Somaliland at Dumbuluq, and is located in a less affluent area that contains a third of the population of the city in a part of the town that has never had a hospital in the past. The site is centrally and conveniently located, is well served by public transport making it easily accessible for emergency referral.
The Hospital is supplied by the city piped water supply and to the city electricity power. The hospital also has its own electricity back-up generator.
The Hospital started with 25 maternity beds. However, as the need for hospital beds became pressing, and as personnel became trained, the hospital services expanded to accommodate an additional 8 paediatric and 13 medical and surgical beds, and a Private Room. The present total capacity of the hospital, including newborn babies, is 69 patients. While the hospital became fully operational on March 2002, the training of Nurses and Laboratory Technicians was in progress while the hospital building was under construction.
Mrs. Edna Adan Ismail (who was appointed Minister of Social Welfare in August 2002 and then Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Somaliland in May 2003) is the Director of the Hospital and runs the Hospital activities with appointed Deputy Directors and the Hospital Administrators.
An 18-Member Honorary Board of Trustees, consisting of persons of good standing, and from different nationalities and clans of Somaliland, has been identified and invited by the proprietor, Mrs. Edna Adan Ismail, to advise on Management and verify to the Authorities the Charity Status of the facility as well as to scrutinize Auditing results.
