WHY SIERRA LEONE?

Sierra Leone has the third highest infant mortality rate in the world. Providing surgical care is paramount to improving the situation.
Deep rooted poverty means individuals and families cannot
pay for day-to-day medication
or life-saving treatments.
We are the only hospital in Sierra Leone that provides free treatment to anyone who walks through our doors.
