About healthcare providers in East Africa

Healthcare provision in East Africa is layered. Public hospitals serve the bulk of the population, faith-based hospitals fill critical gaps especially in rural areas, and a fast-growing private sector of hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, diagnostics labs and telemedicine startups caters to middle-class demand and increasingly to medical tourists from the broader region.

EABD lists hospitals, clinics, dental practices, optical centres, pharmacies, diagnostic and imaging labs, telemedicine providers, medical-equipment importers, and ancillary services like medical insurance brokers and home-care providers. Verified profiles show licensing where applicable, services offered, location, hours, and reviews, so patients and procurement teams can find providers without relying on a friend's recommendation.

About Somalia

Somalia's private sector has grown largely on its own terms. Livestock exports through Berbera, Bosaso and Kismayo, a remittance and money-transfer industry that connects the diaspora to every town, some of the continent's most widely used mobile-money services, and a construction and import trade centred on Mogadishu keep the economy moving. Somalia joined the East African Community in 2024, opening its traders to a market of more than 300 million people.

EABD lists Somali businesses in Mogadishu and across all 18 regions, from Hargeisa and Borama in the north-west to Garowe, Galkayo, Baidoa and Kismayo. Browse by region, by town, or by industry. Where a business is verified, EABD has confirmed its registration with the relevant ministry or chamber of commerce and its contact details, so buyers, NGOs and diaspora investors can reach a real counterpart directly.
