May 24th 2019 - Medical Facility and Diagnostic Clinic opened
by Deputy Minister of Health Dr Anthony Sandi- Solar donations from Germany, the UK and South Africa, enable us to run a Blood Bank and equipment 24/7, a free reliable power supply bringing us closer to providing free diagnostics to the under 5's
and affordable treatment to the local villagers. Canadian Solar and Electric Future came in January and May to install and upgrade the system - amazing!
We have installed a considerable amount of equipment at the Medical Centre and are now running the government free vaccination immunisation and malaria programme - Immunisation of the under 5's began in
June 2019
and the training of 160 nurses at the Clinic
also took place in how to deliver those vaccines.
The Clinic has been named as the Lungi Airport Emergency Medical Centre.
Our equipment includes Sonosite Edge Ultrasound, X-Ray, Blood Bank and Pharmacy fridges, Laboratory and Sterilisation equipment, Maternity suite,
Patient and Foetal monitors, an Endoscopy unit and Dialysis for the future, Patient beds and Accident and Emergency, plus a Generator and Incinerator,
Four Microlife Cradle VSA Monitors in use to prevent pre-eclampsia - developed by Dr Andrew Shannon and his team at Kings College
