Abdilaahi Abdi Muse, a medical laboratory professional based in Hargeisa, Somaliland, has established a formal blood donation network known as Badbaado Blood. The initiative follows twelve years of independent efforts by Muse to connect patients in need of blood transfusions with volunteer donors through social media appeals.

The transition from informal grassroots coordination to a structured organization marks a significant development in local healthcare logistics. By formalizing these connections, the network aims to streamline the process of securing life-saving blood supplies for patients, addressing a long-standing challenge in the region's medical infrastructure.
