As we enter the 2nd Quarter of 2022, we rejoice to see the progress on the new Maternity and Surgical addition to our Waterfield Primary Healthcare Center. According to the UNICEF report on "Child, Maternal and Newborn Health", Liberia has one of the world’s highest rates of maternal mortality with one out of every ten women dying while pregnant, giving birth to their babies or in the aftermath of delivery. So many lives of mothers and babies will be saved when this addition is completed and operational.
Our Community Health Workers are now traveling to 90 villages in Margibi County (up from 37 last year) to provide medical and hygiene training, provide prenatal and worm medications, take blood pressures and provide referrals when necessary.
