Welcome to Amoud University College of Health Sciences, the trailblazer in health education in the Somali-speaking regions of the Horn. Our mission is to cultivate health professionals that can effectively address the pressing health issues in our nation. We strive to arm them with the necessary knowledge, skills, and attitudes for health service delivery, emphasizing lifelong learning, methodical thinking, and collaboration, application of technology in medical science, efficient communication, and community leadership.

Our commitment extends beyond merely increasing the count of health professionals. We also aim to enhance the quality and relevance of our education to meet the health needs of the population. Our focus lies in the sustainable development of our institution to produce the optimal quantity and mix of healthcare professionals. Moreover, we prepare our graduates to tackle future healthcare challenges. Reconstructing health systems in a country impacted by civil unrest is an intimidating task. It’s a challenge to convey to policymakers the crucial role health professionals can play in broader state-building processes. Every country requires bespoke solutions to revive their healthcare provisions and recreate an environment conducive to health services.

Our curriculum is designed to be both community-focused and future-oriented, reflecting the real-world environments our graduates will enter. We are amidst a dynamic growth phase, with numerous construction projects in motion or in the planning stages. Our greatest strengths lie in our vibrant communities, our committed teaching and administrative staff, and our students who hail from diverse backgrounds and possess remarkable academic achievements.

We expose our students to various training sites, offering them the chance to engage with the communities they will serve post-graduation. Our graduates are equipped to serve anywhere across the nation and are currently present in areas of highest need. They have made significant contributions to improving health service provision throughout every region of Somaliland. We consistently assess our educational programs to uphold our top-ranking position in the fields of medicine, dentistry, and allied health sciences. Our primary goal is to nurture competent health professionals who are not only proficient in their skills but also exceptional communicators, problem-solvers, patient advocates, and confident individuals.
