Steps

1. Search the Somali.help nearby tool or an established map service for possible facilities.
2. Check the source label and last-check date.
3. Call the facility to confirm the needed department, opening status and directions.
4. Ask whether referral, payment or identity documents are required.
5. For urgent conditions, seek the fastest appropriate local emergency assistance instead of relying only on web information.
6. Report an incorrect location or number to Somali.help.

Documents or information to prepare

• Referral note when required
• Relevant medical information
• Identity or payment information only when the facility legitimately requests it

Important cautions

• Map listings can be community-mapped and outdated.
• Do not delay emergency care while comparing online listings.
• Somali.help does not provide medical diagnosis.
