Alongside the Ministry of Health & Sanitation and Build Health International, we’ve designed a clinically advanced, environmentally conscious, culturally embedded facility at PIH-supported Koidu Government Hospital that will save and transform families’ lives; train new generations of equity-minded clinicians; serve as a replicable blueprint for future investments in women and children’s health across Sierra Leone and globally; and stand as a testament to the value of every woman and girl’s future.
The MCOE’s health offerings and design are expected in wealthy countries, but are unprecedented in Sierra Leone. They’ll set new standards for the level of care that can and should exist everywhere, regardless of poverty or geography:
And its impacts on health will be invaluable:
121% increase in Facility-based deliveries
140% increase in medically-necessary C-sections
5x increase in family planning visits
Reduced still birth rate to <2%
Reduced facility-based maternal mortality rate to <1%
Join PIH, the government of Sierra Leone, and the Green family to ensure every family has the health care they deserve, and to set a new standard for what’s possible for women around the world.
