On 27 July 2021 , dōTERRA opened the Sanaag Specialty Hospital , located in Erigavo , the heart of Somaliland ’ s Frankincense resin harvesting region .
“ Prior to the opening of the Sanaag Specialty Hospital , people had to travel over 12 hours to reach medical help , if they could afford the journey at all ,” said Dr . Russell Osguthorpe , dōTERRA Chief Medical Officer . “ Now , Sanaag provides a full-service hospital , paediatric care , pharmacy services and community outreach services , among other medical care . This first-class facility allows us to face the region ’ s high infant and child mortality rate . We have an amazing and dedicated medical team that is already seeing success and making an impact in the lives of Somalilanders .”
In its first two months , the hospital treated 2,478 outpatients , completed 403 X-rays , 107 ultrasounds , and performed 25 critical surgeries .
