In Somalia, including Puntland and Somaliland, incidents of violence against health care have been reported. The Safeguarding Health in Conflict Coalition identified 18 such incidents in 2025. This number is double the incidents reported in 2024, but lower than the 21 incidents in 2023.

Health facilities were attacked on 12 occasions in 2025. The incidents are part of a larger pattern of attacks affecting health workers, facilities, and patients. The true scale of these attacks may be higher due to underreporting in some areas.

Further details on the incidents and their impact on access to health care are available from the report by the Safeguarding Health in Conflict Coalition. The report examines the consequences of these attacks, particularly in remote and conflict-affected regions.
