The only children’s hospital in the Bo District, Sierra Leone
Since creating a partnership with Bo Children’s Hospital in 2014, Inter Care has been able to assist their programme, which serves a community of 15,000 children. Many of these children suffer from malnutrition and other life-threatening conditions. We have supplied multivitamins, treatment for worms, and other essential medications.
Many vulnerable families visit Bo Children’s Hospital to receive care free of charge
Inter Care’s ongoing support has enabled the hospital’s healthcare staff to deliver treatment at no cost to the families of young patients. Throughout the past decade, Inter Care has sent donations of dressings, gloves, and essential medicines to support children living in poverty.
We personally deliver medical supplies and clothes to the local community
In 2021, Inter Care had the opportunity to visit the hospital to personally deliver some special items to the lead doctor. We presented a parcel filled with children’s clothing, lovingly handmade by our supporters, along with BNF books for children to assist healthcare staff in caring for their young patients. During their outreach efforts to nearby villages in the catchment area, the knitted garments were distributed to the local community.
Inter Care’s support is crucial for treating children like Janette’s daughter and baby boy.
Janette is the sole breadwinner for her children, as no other family members show concern for her or her daughter and son. In addition to caring for them, Janette works as a gardener and breaks stones to sell in the local market.
Whenever her children fall ill, Janette takes them to our partner health unit, knowing they can receive treatment with the Inter Care medicines provided at no cost.
The healthcare staff at the hospital shared with us, “Inter Care medicines are incredibly beneficial for our patients. Without them, many vulnerable individuals might not have survived. Thanks to the timely intervention of Inter Care medicines, we have numerous success stories among our patients.”
