Surgical and Medical Outreach
March 2024
Freetown, Sierra Leone
Sinkor, Monrovia, Liberia, West Africa
In March 2024, we conducted our third Surgical and Medical Mission. We were so excited to serve so many more individuals this trip. We travelled to Connaught Hospital in Sierra Leone from March 11-15 followed by Liberian trips to John F. Kennedy Hospital, 14 Military Hospital, Redemption Hospital for surgical patients and non-surgical patients seen at the Darlingston G. Johnson Medical Center from March 18-29. We expected to perform four times more surgical procedures and two times more non surgical individuals which we did indeed. We also had the opportunity to visit a local Liberian school and donate dental supplies! We thank you all for your contributions and support.
February 2023
Location:
Sinkor Monrovia, Liberia, West Africa
In February 2023, our team returned to the John F. Kennedy Memorial Hospital (JFK), Redemption Hospital, and the Darlingston G. Johnson Medical Clinic to perform free major and minor surgeries. During this trip, were able to perform three times more surgical procedures than in our 2019 trip (88 surgeries at JFK and 176 surgeries at Redemption for a total 264 surgeries performed).
At the clinic: We worked out of the Darlingston G. Johnson Clinic (DGJ) in Sinkor Monrovia and Grace Medical Center. During Week 1 at the DGJ Clinic, we saw 206 patients and sent 76 patients for eye surgery (in partnership with another outreach effort). In our second week at the clinic, we assisted 564 patients. However, the DGJ Clinic was not our only medical location. At Grace Clinic, another 751 patients were seen to bring the total to 1,315 patients during our two week stay.
November 2019
Location:
Sinkor Monrovia, Liberia, West Africa
In November 2019, we brought a team of surgeons, medical doctors, and associated volunteers to perform free major and minor surgeries at the John F. Kennedy Memorial Hospital in Sinkor Monrovia of Liberia, West Africa. The U.S. team consisted of two Liberian general surgeons: Dr. Gabriel Peal and Dr. Alfred Eddie Shaw; two Liberian medical doctors: Dr. Conteh Nimley and Dr. Albert White; a pharmacist: Dr. Patricia Ayuk Noumedem; nurses: Madalyn Trucker, RN and Sarah Turkson, LPN; evangelist Facia Johnson, photographer Kamau Little, and our coordinators—Pastor Napoleon Blamon, Pastor Patrick Nepay, Pastor Lawrence Kennedy, Faith Blamon, and Yvonne Brooks Little. During this trip we were able to donate 114 hospital beds to the John F. Kennedy Medical Center in Sinkor Monrovia. We were able to provide free treatment and medications at the Darlingston G. Johnson Medical Center on Old Road, Chugbor. Major surgeries took place at the JFK Memorial Hospital and ELWA Hospital where 1,000+ patients were seen and 84 surgeries were performed free of charge! We look forward to our return to Liberia and the surrounding countries in the future. If you are interested in donating or volunteering please feel welcome to join us!

2023 Trip Highlight:
Honorable Senator Saah H Joseph of Montserrado County, Liberia, West Africa
With the support of Honorable Senator Saah H Joseph from Montserrado County, we secured additional supplies and a bus, which facilitated our outreach efforts and enabled us to extend our reach to a second clinic. This strategic addition aimed to enhance patient access, particularly for those residing in areas farther from Monrovia, the capital city.
