Non-communicable diseases

Diabetes awareness, NCD prevention, and national planning with the Federal Ministry of Health, WHO, and peer NGOs.

NASDO’s published mission is to improve well-being through health, nutrition, and non-communicable diseases — not emergency feeding alone. Diabetes, prevention, and stronger primary care sit in that longer-term agenda.

The organisation has trained with the Federal Ministry of Health at Benadir University on diabetes mellitus awareness, joined World Diabetes Day at Jazeera Hotel in Mogadishu, and sat in the National Technical Working Group on NCDs with FMOH and other NGOs.

In July 2024 NASDO took part in a Mogadishu conference on Somalia’s next five-year plan to strengthen the health system for NCD prevention and control, opened by State Minister H.E. Dr. Maryama Maxamed Xuseen.
