SOMALIA-UNREST-HEALTH-WHO
TO GO WITH AFP STORY BY WILLIAM DAVIES
Aminou Mohamed waits line as she arrives at a field hospital in the Hudur region of Somalia, on June 10, 2012. Amino Mahamoud has been waiting to see a doctor for the past 10 years -- ever since a stray bullet got lodged in her left buttock. It has been there ever since. "When I was shot I didn't have any money and the main hospital was on fire so I couldn't see a doctor," she told AFP in the capital of central Somalia's Bakool region. Mahamoud was hit by a stray bullet in the capital Mogadishu. Once she was well enough to travel she returned home to Hudur, but the injury has left her incapacitated. Bakool has had no hospitals for the past three-and-a-half years when Al-Qaeda affiliated Shebab insurgents closed down a maternity clinic that had been set up in 2008. But that is about to change. The World Health Organisation (WHO) is setting up a field hospital in Hudur, after opening similar facilities in Baidoa to the south, in Dolow near the borders with Kenya and Ethiopia and in Galkayo farther north, as they try to bring health care to people across Somalia.
