Dr. Sumait Hospital has officially signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Somali National Teachers Union (SONUT), marking a significant step toward improving access to quality healthcare for Somali educators and their families.
Through this agreement, Somali teachers who are members of SONUT, along with their immediate family members, will receive a 40% discount on comprehensive healthcare services at Dr. Sumait Hospital. The initiative is designed to ease the financial burden of medical care and ensure that teachers can access timely, high-quality health services.
As a Teaching Hospital, Dr. Sumait Hospital recognizes the vital role teachers play in shaping society and building the nation’s future. This partnership reflects the hospital’s strong commitment to caring for, supporting, and valuing Somali teachers—especially in light of the challenging conditions under which they work.
By prioritizing the wellbeing of educators, Dr. Sumait Hospital and SONUT aim to contribute to a healthier, more resilient teaching community, ultimately benefiting students and society as a whole.
This collaboration stands as an example of how institutions can work together to deliver meaningful social impact through healthcare and education.
