Turkey to open nursing school in Mogadishu

Source

The Turkish Red Crescent will open a nursing and healthcare school in Mogadishu to train medical professionals, Turkey's official Anadolu Agency reported on Monday (February 13th). An agreement was signed to begin construction of the school, which is expected to open and begin training 250 Somali students some time next year, said Ahmet Lutfi Akar, director of the Turkish Red Crescent. The state-funded project is part of the Turkish government's continuing efforts to help rebuild Somalia, Akar said.

^40 classrooms with roughly 24 seats each = 960 certified nurses every 2 years. A lot of Kenyan nurses have found employment in Somalia because of the high demand, this nursing school will fill the gap. They can come from any part of Somalia to study in Mogadishu & when they finish they can either go back to their cities/towns or the government can utilize their skills in rural regions.

I just hope they don't paint the building blue or some other hideous colour. Just leave it as it is.

Mogadishu is pretty green with an abundance of trees throughout the city. The nursery school is also located next to the Digfer hospital which has a similar look, so the architecture of the two new major medical facilities is consistent.
