In a pioneering move to enhance the hospital experience for young children, Dr. Sumait Hospital proudly announces the introduction of entertainment and educational toys for children aged 1 year and above — making it the first hospital in Somalia to implement such an initiative.
At Dr. Sumait Hospital, we recognize that healthcare extends beyond medical treatment. For children, particularly those accompanying their parents or loved ones during hospital visits, the environment can often feel intimidating or stressful. To address this, we have established a child-friendly and emotionally supportive atmosphere, designed to promote comfort, learning, and positive engagement.
The newly introduced entertainment kits include colorful alphabet and number books, puzzles, building blocks, and creative art materials — all carefully selected to foster early learning, creativity, and cognitive development. These tools serve not only to entertain but also to provide therapeutic benefits that support children’s emotional well-being during hospital visits.
Importantly, this initiative also acknowledges the presence of children who are not patients but accompany their parents or guardians. Long hours in hospitals can be overwhelming for them, leading to anxiety or discomfort. By providing safe, stimulating, and enjoyable activities, Dr. Sumait Hospital ensures that every child — whether a patient or visitor — feels engaged, calm, and cared for.
Through this initiative, Dr. Sumait Hospital reinforces its commitment to:
-
Promoting a child-centered healthcare environment in Somalia.
-
Enhancing family well-being by reducing stress during hospital visits.
-
Integrating innovation and compassion into healthcare delivery.
This milestone reflects our continuous efforts to set new standards in Somalia’s healthcare system — where quality care, innovation, and humanity go hand in hand.
At Dr. Sumait Hospital, we don’t just provide medical services — we create a healing environment for the entire family.
