*Cervical cancer (10) Introduction: Amal Abdikarim Yusuf, Somalia - Raising awareness about cervical and breast cancer

19 October, 2026

Dear HIFA team and members

Thank you for the warm welcome to HIFA,

I am happy to be part of this community and look forward for learning from others and sharing my own experiences.

My name is Amal Abdikarim Yusuf.

I am a midwife at Magaalo Cad MCH Berbera

I hold bachelor of science in Midwifery from university of Burao where I studied for five years, and graduated with 2023.

Through my work, I have developed a strong interest in maternal and newborn health, women's health, reproductive health, and community health education.

I am also interested in raising awareness about cervical and breast cancer, promoting early detection and reliable health information.

I believe that access to the right health information can make a real difference in people's lives, especially for women and families in underserved communities.

In my work I value the importance of sharing health information in ways that people can understand and apply in their daily lives.

Thank you again for welcoming me and I look forward to connecting and learning from the HIFA community.
