About Us
The Voice of Somalia’s Private Health Sector.
About SHF
The Somali Healthcare Federation (SHF) was founded and registered in 2024 as a membership association limited by guarantee. The Federation was formed to address key challenges, including fragmentation and exclusion from key Ministry of Health and development partner programs.
As the umbrella body, SHF champions member interests and is dedicated to maximizing the private sector’s contribution to quality healthcare. We are an independent body, primarily funded by our membership and donations.
