Mattru Hospital Undergoing Major Work

Mattru Hospital in Sierra Leone is undergoing a renovation, which is expected to be completed in October. Funds are being provided by the United Nations Population Fund, through the office of the First Lady of Sierra Leone, Mrs. Sia Nyama Koroma.

On a visit to the hospital, Mrs. Koroma lamented the poor conditions, and included Mattru Hospital in her vision to establish hospitals of excellence.

In a special service on October 3, the hospital was handed over to the contractor to be refurbished. Bishop Billy Simbo, who also chairs the hospital board, thanked the First Lady, and admonished the people of Mattru Jong to monitor the progress of the project and not engage in stealing building materials.

    I am thrilled that the hospital is being refubrished and will be there to meet the needs of the Mende people of Mattru. Although I was only in Marrtu for three months, I have lasting memories of the poeple and continue to pray for the area daily. Does anyone there know anything of Priscilla Nayawa, Mary Musa, or Fatmata who worked at Harmony House?
