Restoring Healthcare to Women and Girls in Liberia

HWHL is pleased to share with you all the things we are thankful for this spring:

Medical-Surgical Outreach – March 2019

In March, Healthy Women, Healthy Liberia (HWHL) joined forces with Hands of Hope Foundation from Illinois (http://www.hohfoundation.org/) and Pro Health International from Nigeria (https://www.facebook.com/prohealthinternational/) to conduct a one-week medical-surgical outreach that served over 600 people from the Kakata and Weala areas. (See pictures of the outreach in the carousel of pictures on this page.)

The team of 33 volunteers included doctors, surgeons, nurses, physician’s assistants, physical therapists, lab technicians, and more. With their immense help and resources, we were able to provide free treatment, lab work and drugs to nearly 500 patients; perform over 60 general surgeries for hernias, hydroceles, and address other issues, and perform over 80 eye surgeries, including cataract removal.

HWHLand our team in Kakata are so thankful for passionate and hard-working partners like Hands of Hope and Pro Health International! The outreach was a wonderful opportunity not only for the patients, but also for HWHL staff in Kakata to work alongside and learn from talented medical professionals.

We have so much to be thankful for at HWHL!  As always, we thank you for your continued financial support and prayers as we continue to focus on our mission to promote the health of the people and educate patients through Comprehensive, Sustainable, Community-Based Primary Healthcare.
