The project, undertaken by the Office of the First Lady of Liberia, will cater to the health needs of thousands of pregnant women and baby mothers in the area.

President Joseph Boakai then lauded the implementing partners for augmenting the efforts in the provision of basic social services to the citizenry.

At the same time, Liberia’s First Lady, Kartumu Boakai, is urging Liberians to unite in addressing challenges confronting the country’s Health Sector, especially maternal and neonatal issues.

Madam Boakai said:” Addressing Liberia’s compelling health needs requires the collective efforts of all, regardless of social and political differences.”

She recommitted to leading efforts in championing calls to ensure that all women have access to better healthcare services in Liberia.

First Lady Kartumu Boakai described the project as a symbol of hope and resilience demonstrated by the people in advocating for an effective and efficient Health Care System.

Also speaking, UNFPA Country Representative to Liberia, Bidisha Pillai, has recommitted the UN support to Liberia Health Sector.

The UNFPA Country Representative said:” The UN is dedicated to partnering with the Office of the First Lady in the prevention of maternal deaths. The facility’s launch is a testament to the Government’s efforts to promote the health of its citizens, especially women and girls.”

Madam Pillai commended the First Lady’s efforts to champion maternal and newborn health and ensure that Liberia becomes a safe and healthier society.
