Somaliland is a self-declared state, not recognized by the nations of the world. Sixty percent of the population are herders or small scale farmers. Gross national product and other data are not available, but it is evident, according to surveys conducted by the United Nations, that most of the population has a low income. The health-care system consists of a public sector, which covers primary care, hospital care, immunizations, and tuberculosis care. The major clinical problems are tuberculosis, malaria and childhood diarrhea. Lack of trained personnel is a major difficulty in the health care system. This paper describes visits to health care facilities in Somaliland, and suggests some improvements for the system.
索马里兰是一个自行宣布独立的国家，未得到世界各国的承认。60%的人口是牧民或小规模农户。国民生产总值及其他数据尚无统计，但根据联合国进行的调查显示，显然大多数人口收入很低。医疗保健系统包括公共部门，涵盖初级保健、医院护理、免疫接种和结核病防治。主要的临床问题是结核病、疟疾和儿童腹泻。缺乏训练有素的人员是医疗保健系统的一个主要难题。本文描述了对索马里兰医疗保健机构的访问，并对该系统提出了一些改进建议。
