SOS College of Health Science University was founded in May 2002, as a school of nursing, at a crucial time when there was a pressing demand for skilled healthcare professionals who could deliver comprehensive care to individuals, families, and communities.

The College’s primary objective by then was to enhance the quality of life for the people of Somalia. To achieve this, it employs a distinctive approach that incorporates specialized teaching and learning resources, creating an environment conducive to effective education and skill development.

Since its establishment until 2016, the College has been dedicated to training highly qualified healthcare professionals who received accreditation from the World Health Organization (WHO)-Somalia. However, starting from 2016, the responsibility for accreditation was transferred to the Federal Ministry of Health in Somalia.

Throughout its existence, the University has maintained a reputation as a center of excellence in the training and development of competent nurses and midwives. These professionals are equipped with critical thinking skills to effectively address the diverse needs of patients and clients.

The curriculum emphasizes essential areas such as disease prevention, health promotion, curative care, research, rehabilitative services, as well as leadership and management in healthcare settings.

Our graduates are the most competitive candidates in the market arena and organizations hunt them soon after graduation. This market desire has led our graduates to be in almost every organization in the sectors of health & nutrition in the country.

In a strategic move to enhance the career prospects of our graduates, the college has recently undergone a transformation, elevating its status to a fully-fledged college that offers an array of distinguished health science programs encompassing bachelor’s, diploma, certificate, and as well as special post-graduate and refresher training programs.
