Neama Hassan Gahnug

I am a clinical midwife and Edna Adan University graduate dedicated to advancing maternal and neonatal health standards across Somaliland. During my intensive clinical training, I managed high-stakes responsibilities across MCH facilities, including conducting safe deliveries, providing comprehensive antenatal care, and overseeing critical cold-chain vaccine administration. Beyond clinical procedures, I led community outreach initiatives to improve public health outcomes through targeted education in nutrition, hygiene, and reproductive health. I am now seeking a professional clinical role where I can apply my technical skills and dedication to patient safety to contribute to superior maternal outcomes in a fast-paced healthcare environment.
