Message of Dean

Dear candidates, welcome to the University of Health Sciences (UOHS) in general and, faculty of Midwifery (FOM) in particular. In 2009, the Faculty of Midwifery was declared an independent and a fully fledged faculty with the aim of contributing towards the reduction of maternal and newborn morbidity and mortality in Somalia.

The main program of the faculty BSc in Clinical Midwifery is undertaken over four years. In keeping with its mission to provide quality education in the country, UOHS developed a ground-breaking, competency based, community sensitive curriculum for undergraduate midwifery education that will produce midwives with community sensitive, critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

Dear candidates, as faculty dean, I am very delighted to welcome you to Faculty of Midwifery, where you are about to begin one of the most exciting disciplines, that is saving two-lives at the same time.
