During his tour at the Jackson Fiah Doe Hospital, the only referral hospital serving rural Liberia and neighboring regions such as South-East Guinea and Ivory Coast, Senator Joseph met with doctors and health workers to discuss plans aimed at strengthening the county’s healthcare system. He praised the hospital’s critical role in providing medical care to patients from multiple counties within Liberia and neighboring countries but expressed concern about its insufficient government funding.
The Senator revealed that the hospital currently receives a budget allocation of only nine hundred thousand U.S. dollars, which he described as inadequate for supporting such a vital health institution.
“This hospital is a lifeline for many, yet it operates with limited financial resources. We must do more to ensure it can serve the people effectively,” he said.
In his first visit to Jackson Fiah Doe Hospital, Senator Joseph pledged immediate support and plans to make a substantial medical donation within the next two weeks. His contribution will include essential drugs and medical supplies, not only to this hospital but also to other health facilities and clinics throughout Nimba County.
“I am committed to investing in Nimba’s health sector, alongside education and other key areas, to make a meaningful impact on the lives of the people of Nimba and all Liberians,” Senator Joseph declared.
Further emphasizing his dedication, the Senator spoke on Radio Kergheamah FM 94.5 in Ganta, reinforcing his promise to support Nimba County’s development.
Observer say this move signals a hopeful step for healthcare advancement in Nimba County, where improved facilities and stronger partnerships are expected to enhance medical services, save lives, and promote wellbeing for thousands of residents in this historically underserved rural area.
