Po River Medical Clinic - Liberia is a country still desperately in need of further development. After suffering from fourteen years of civil war, much of the population is still recovering. The health system was left in ruins following the conflict: 95% of health facilities were destroyed, and from a prewar level of 400 trained government doctors, at war’s end in 2003, fewer than 20 remained.
The clinic will be the only source of quality medical care to the 9,000 people living in the area. The clinic will additionally work with local villages to focus on access to clean water, proper sanitation, and illness prevention education.
Excited to see the lives impacted by the medical clinic!
