Private Sector Partnership in Health - PSPH

For more information on partnerships and collaboration, email us at info@psphsomalia.com.

Partnering with private healthcare facilities in Somalia and Somaliland, using the Market Systems Development (MSD) approach, to break down barriers to medical care and improve accessibility, affordability, and effectiveness for all. The Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation’s Private Sector Partnerships in Health (PSPH) programme, implemented by DT Global, pioneers the Market Systems Devel

opment (MSD) approach in the health sector to enhance access to quality, affordable healthcare for all Somali citizens, including marginalized groups. Operating across Somalia and Somaliland, DT Global is collaborating with the Somali Research and Development Institute (SORDI) and the Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute (Swiss TPH) to develop pro-poor healthcare financing mechanisms and strengthen private sector health service delivery. As the world’s only MSD health programme and Somalia’s sole donor-funded initiative engaging commercial private providers, PSPH delivers technical assistance and drives innovation without grants. With a lean team, PSPH has successfully launched dozens of interventions, supported providers serving over 853,000 patients, introduced Somalia’s first affordable health insurance products, and trained over 500 healthcare professionals in hospital management and business skills.

Last Sunday (April 5th), the Somaliland Medical Association (SLMA) and the Somaliland Private Hospitals Network (SOLPHNet), a PSPH-pioneered initiative to unify care providers, joined forces to co-create a roadmap for locally led, demand-driven 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐌𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐄𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 (𝐂𝐌𝐄).

By aligning SOLPHNet’s clinical insights with SLMA’s professional development expertise, this partnership moves beyond donor dependency toward sustainable, locally financed solutions.

Through this partnership, the Embassy of Switzerland in Nairobi-funded PSPH project aims to strengthen clinical skills, diagnostics, and healthcare management within nationally recognized frameworks, ensuring care is accessible, affordable, and high-quality.

This model serves as a blueprint for resilient health markets in Somalia and beyond, as we work with the private sector, mobilize local resources, and build institutional ownership to drive systemic change.

As global ODA shrinks, health systems must increasingly explore innovative and sustainable financing solutions to maintain essential services, especially through bundled approaches that deliver greater benefits.

Through the Embassy of Switzerland in Nairobi (SDC)-funded PSPH Project, the Somaliland Family Health Association (SOFHA) has introduced the 𝐔𝐦𝐮𝐥𝐤𝐡𝐚𝐲𝐫 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐏𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐚𝐠𝐞, a bundled initiative designed to make maternal health services more affordable while strengthening financial sustainability.

Over the weekend, our Hargeisa team – Ahmed ADEN, Dr Hamda Warsame, with support from our Health Financing Expert Ndiang'ui Githinji – conducted an orientation and product sensitisation session for 17 female SOFHA staff members, including receptionists, nurses, midwives, and marketing personnel. The session equipped frontline staff with the knowledge to guide clients, clearly explain the benefits of the packages, and demonstrate how bundled services compare with conventional care.

This package supports expectant women across the continuum of care through three options: an 𝐀𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐏𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐚𝐠𝐞, a 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 (𝐃𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲) 𝐏𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐚𝐠𝐞, and a 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐡𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐏𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐚𝐠𝐞 covering antenatal, delivery, and postnatal care.

To improve affordability, the packages include discounts ranging from $5 to $15 on individual services and a $25 discount on the comprehensive maternal package. Additionally, clients receive a membership card that unlocks further discounted services, helping reduce out-of-pocket expenses for families.

Beyond improving affordability, the initiative represents a practical step toward alternative health financing, enabling health facilities to recover costs while expanding access to essential maternal services, which is at the heart of the PSPH Project.

This milestone is poised to increase the utilisation of maternal health services, reduce financial burden on families, improve maternal health outcomes, progress toward Universal Health Coverage (UHC), and contribute to reducing maternal morbidity and mortality among Somalis.

As development financing landscapes continue to shift, innovative models such as the Umulkhayr Maternal Care Package demonstrate how local health systems can adapt, balancing affordability, access, and sustainability.

🎉A defining milestone for sports healthcare in Somaliland.

Dr Ismail Speciality Hospital, a key intervention partner on the PSPH Project, has officially launched the country’s first advanced Special Sports Youth Promotion Package, introducing Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) repair and reconstruction services locally for the very first time.

Until now, athletes facing ACL injuries were forced to seek treatment abroad, bearing heavy financial and logistical burdens. Today, they can access world-class surgical care and comprehensive rehabilitation at home.

The launch brought together 96 stakeholders (including 86 men and 10 women) from government ministries, the Somaliland Football Association, sports clubs, sponsors, and healthcare professionals, a powerful signal of national commitment.

With patient testimonials, live demonstrations, and strong policy support, this initiative strengthens Somaliland’s health system while empowering its growing community of athletes.

The Embassy of Switzerland in Nairobi-funded PSPH Project team is proud to support partners driving sustainable, specialist healthcare where it matters most.

A huge congratulations to Dr Ismail Speciality Hospital.

Exceptional care doesn’t happen by chance. It is the result of intentional investment in people.

Last Tuesday, our Mogadishu-based Intervention Manager, Dr. Jamal Hussein, led a Care Training at Dhiblawe Clinic, where over 21 team members, including senior management and clinical staff, joined forces to elevate our service standards.

When leadership steps into the classroom alongside their team, it sends a powerful message: patient experience is our top priority.

Moving beyond generic theory, the session was specifically tailored to the unique environment and daily realities of our clinic. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive, with participants highlighting the practical, immediate applications of the training.

Working with Dhiblawe Clinic, the Embassy of Switzerland in Nairobi-funded PSPH project team is committed to raising the bar together.

Healthcare workers are holding fragile systems together, often at the cost of their own mental health.

Globally, 1 in 4 report anxiety, depression, or burnout. In Somalia’s private health sector, shrinking ODA and rising demand are intensifying the strain.

Resilient health systems begin with resilient people.

Emotional Intelligence isn’t a 'soft skill'. It's a trainable safeguard against burnout, linked to stronger leadership and better patient outcomes.

Tomorrow, the Embassy of Switzerland in Nairobi-funded PSPH project is hosting a masterclass: 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐦 𝐢𝐧 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐨𝐬: 𝐄𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐫𝐬.

Sustainable healthcare in Somalia requires more than just funding. It requires a shift in how we build health systems.

Last evening, our team, led by Dr. Jamal Hussein and Maryan Abdulkadir Ahmed, met with DR:Harun Specialist Hospital in Baidoa, Somalia, to discuss how the PSPH project can support their growth. Our model is built on technical assistance, not grants.

Through a Market Systems Development (MSD) lens, we provide commercial providers with a comprehensive support system, encompassing business development tips, specialized training, and more.

We do this to create financially viable hospitals that provide high-quality, affordable care for the long term.

Dr. Haruun Hospital is a member of Caafinet Enterprise in Mogadishu, a union of providers formed to end fragmentation in healthcare, with the support of the Embassy of Switzerland in Nairobi-funded PSPH. We look forward to a fruitful partnership with Dr. Haruun Hospital as we work to reshape the healthcare market.

Women doctors hold the key to unlocking the future of maternal care. This was the central theme of a networking event hosted by Horseed Hospital in , in partnership with PSPH. Bringing together 97 healthcare professionals, this event served as a vital forum for prioritizing women’s health and strengthening the systems that support it.

While hospital leadership shared updates on growth and strategic goals, the conversation focused heavily on the essential role of female practitioners. Recognised as vital advocates, these doctors were encouraged to leverage their unique influence to increase referrals and guide women safely through pregnancy, childbirth, and beyond. Their leadership is the backbone of the hospital’s mission to provide specialized, compassionate care.

Through this initiative and in collaboration with the Embassy of Switzerland in Nairobi-funded PSPH, Horseed Hospital is reaffirming its commitment to enhancing maternal health outcomes. By streamlining referral pathways, the hospital is creating safer journeys for mothers and healthier beginnings for families.

The event was more than a meeting; it was a celebration of dedicated staff and a catalyst for interdepartmental collaboration. Together, we are working toward a singular, powerful vision, a future where maternal care is prioritised, women’s voices are elevated, and no mother is left without the support she deserves.
