Capitol Hill, Monrovia – President George Weah has submitted before the Legislature for ratification a US$54 million loan agreement between the Government of Liberia and the International Development Association (IDA) for the improvement of healthcare services in Liberia. It shall be carried out through the Ministry of Health by a project implementation Unit (PIU),” the President wrote. The hospital is one of the largest providers of secondary level health services in the country, but currently functions at “maximum capacity”. Meanwhile, the agreement is submitted at a time the country is grappling with COVID-19 amid concerns about the country’s weak health care system. The Government is hopeful that the loan, when ratified, will be a milestone in strengthening the health sector.
