This is good.
I think what Somaliland desperately needs is a fully equipped hospital which acts as a anchor referral hospital. If Taiwan is able to help build one of that, that will go a very long way. Imagine the day when Somalilanders will no longer need to send their sick and elderly people on an expensive plan ticket to Turkey for mundane medical issues?
