Overview
All of the physicians that work at the Hargeisa Canadian Medical Center were trained in Italy and/or Canada.
HCMC is known for its humanitarian endeavors, such as offering free medical treatment on Mondays and Thursdays to low or no income families. The hospital's physicians also often travel to impoverished villages and treat the locals.
As of May 2011, the medical center has been expanded into a hospital.
