A Mobile Clinic for Somalia's Children

Season 1 Episode 2 | 2m 57s

Part of a medical team from the Somali Red Crescent Society, Kaltun and Faisal run a mobile clinic for the children of a remote Somaliland community. Mothers bring their infants to be checked for malnutrition, but in some cases Kaltun and Faisal’s help isn't enough. When a child is severely malnourished, they need more than the normal food-based treatment and have to be transported far from home.
