Monrovia – As part of her ongoing support to end COVID-19 in Liberia, First Lady Clar Marie Weah has donated assorted medical supplies and food to Liberia’s two largest regional referral and maternity hospitals in central Liberia – Phebe and C. B. Dunbar Hospitals. The medical supplies, including nearly 5,000 surgical masks, 14 electronic thermometers and 110 bags (25kg each) of rice, were donated over the weekend in Bong County. Mr. Kortu said the donation of medical supplies and food demonstrates the First Lady’s concern about the safety and wellbeing of health workers. Dr. Sibley said the hospital was in dire need of such support, especially the medical supplies, as the facility is gradually reopening its doors to the public following a brief period of closure. Phebe Hospital was shut down recently after the Medical Director himself alongwith seven health workers tested positive of the novel coronavirus.
