The supervision team comprised representatives from the Ministry of Health (MoH), Somali Midwives Association (SOMA), CARE and experienced TOT Supportive supervision midwives, bringing together technical expertise from both education and clinical practice.

The team visited Kismayo Midwifery Training Institute and its affiliated clinical practice sites, including Kismayo General Hospital and Midnimo Health Center. The visit focused on assessing the learning and clinical environment, identifying gaps, providing on-site supportive supervision, mentorship, and gap-focused training, and strengthening collaboration between midwifery training institutions and health facilities.

Kormeerku wuxuu diiradda saaray qiimeynta xaaladda waxbarashada iyo tababarka umulisooyinka, aqoonsiga meelaha ay ka jiraan baahiyaha iyo farqiyada xirfadeed, bixinta tababar ku saleysan baahida (Gap Training), hagid iyo taageero farsamo oo goobta ah, iyo xoojinta xiriirka ka dhexeeya machadka waxbarashada iyo xarumaha caafimaadka.
