The Medical Director of CB Dunbar Comprehensive Hospital, Dr. Moses Beyan, has revealed that the hospital will start a free medical outreach program in Gbarnga, Bong County.
Dr. Beyan said the outreach is aimed at providing essential surgical care to patients suffering from hernias, thereby improving their quality of life and reducing the burden of untreated hernias in the region.
The Medical Director of C. B. Dunbar Hospital further noted that free medical outreach will start on April 3 to April 8, 2025.
Additionally, he said the hospital will collaborate with Liberia Physicians and Surgeons without Borders (LPSWB) to carry out the medical outreach.
He emphasized that an international surgeon from Spain will be part of the pending surgery. Dr. Beyan said that the free hernia surgery campaign will be held at the government-run C. B. Dunbar Government Hospital, while the medical outreach will be held at Palala.
However, according to him, the medical team will consist of highly skilled professionals from different specializations.
According to Dr. Beyan, Senator Prince Kermue Moye of Bong County is sponsoring the upcoming outreach.
It can be recalled that in March of 2024, Bong County Legislative Caucus Chairman Senator Prince K. Moye sponsored or provided free medical treatment for ailing residents in the County. Senator Moye said the initiative was intended to respond to the critical health needs of the people in the County.
The exercises, according to Senator Moye, were part of his community’s medical outreach and some of the social contributions of the ruling Unity Party to the people of Bong County regarding some of the campaign promises made during the 2023 general elections when it comes to bettering the health care delivery system of Liberia.
He further said the health needs of Bongese are paramount to their growth and wellbeing. Senator Moye revealed that the initiative was his way of identifying with residents of the County who are in desperate need of treatment but cannot afford the cost.
The Bong County Senator further assured the citizens that the biggest medical outreach will take place in June of this year which will affect major cases of illness.
The free medical exercise is being fully sponsored by Senator Moye who thought it wise to meet the health needs of his people in Bong County .
