Life-Changing Hospital Supplies Set Sail

POSTED ON: JUNE 1, 2017

 The container ship has left the port! Onboard are essential medicines and supplies worth $2,935,690. Thanks to your generosity, these much-needed resources are headed to Ganta Leprosy/TB Rehabilitation Center in Liberia.

Many doctors and health workers in Africa lack basic medicine and medical supplies. Illnesses, infections and more go untreated. Pharmacies in clinics and hospitals are empty, and patients need to travel great distances in search of medicines.

Your compassionate support has covered the cost of shipping these lifesaving medicines and supplies to our longtime partner hospital in Liberia. Ganta is one of only a few hospitals in the entire country with expert treatment and care for leprosy and Buruli ulcer.

The pallets full of gloves, syringes, bandages, antibiotics, vitamins, ibuprofen, acetaminophen and other supplies will help patients like Princess Kruah who is being treated for leprosy.

Thank you for your gifts which are helping thousands of people like her get the medicine, treatment and care they so desperately need.

Crucial medicines and medical supplies you helped send to Ganta hospital will treat patients like Princess Kruah.
