Mobile Clinic Services Helping Women & Children
After the massive flooding and mudslide in Freetown, it was critical to go into the affected communities and provide healthcare services. Not only for individual health but also to protect against the outbreak of any communicable diseases. The fear of disease is high, especially cholera.
Our mobile health clinic was onsite immediately following the mudslide in the Regent area and has been deployed in other critical areas every day since. To date, over 850 patients have been treated and clinic visits are ongoing throughout the Freetown area. Funding provided though our appeal was used to purchase the needed medicines and supplies to treat the patients, many of whom are women and children.
