Somalia is urging international donors to better align their support with national priorities following the conclusion of a health financing conference aimed at strengthening the country’s fragile health system.

The conference, held in Nairobi, brought together Somalia’s federal and regional health ministers, senior government officials, and development partners to discuss sustainable financing, government leadership, and improved coordination in the health sector.

Speaking at the closing session, on Monday, Health Minister Ali Haji Adam urged donor support to be channelled through a government-led framework to ensure accountability, efficiency, and long-term impact.
