Where it all began: our founders

We caught up with the founders of the BSMA to reflect on where it all began: what inspired them to create a space for Somali healthcare professionals, the vision that shaped the organisation, and what they hope to pass on to the generations that follow.

What began as an idea has grown into a thriving community spanning generations, specialties and career stages, built on connection, shared knowledge and a commitment to supporting one another.

If you want to get involved, connect with the community or find out how you can contribute to the BSMA, reach out to us. Whether you’re a student, doctor, healthcare professional or simply looking for ways to support the work we do, we’d love to hear from you and help you find your place within the community.
