A medical outreach was held from November 8th to the 15th with doctors from the US, Nigeria and Ghana participating through Hands of Hope and CMDA Nigeria. The total number of patients seen during the outreach was 1850 with 127 General/OGBYN surgeries, 62 eye surgeries, 493 eye exams (176 pairs of glasses given out), 193 dental patients with 664 procedures, 544 laboratory services and 976 pharmacy services.
We were honored have Liberian Nobel Laureate, Leymah Gbowee visit our Waterfield Clinic last quarter. Leymah is best known for leading a nonviolent movement that brought together Christian and Muslim women to play a pivotal role in ending Liberia’s devastating, fourteen-year civil war in 2003. Read her autobiography Mighty Be Our Powers to learn more of her inspiring story.
We are thrilled that the new Maternity/Surgical building has been completed and supplies are being shipped to make it fully operational. Donations are greatly appreciated to get this life-saving facility up and running.
