Project: Liberia

Editor — Thu, 06 Oct 2011 23:54:30 +0000

HEARTT’s current project is Liberia, with programs focused on the improvement of care at the John F.Kennedy Medical Center(JFK) . Liberia is a poor country in West Africa, which recently emerged from over fifteen years of civil war. Liberia, which was once the model of stability and prosperity in West Africa, now leads only when comparing rates of un-immunized children, illiteracy rates and infant and child mortality rates.

HEARTT recruits and arranges for volunteer physicians and nurses to travel to Liberia to provide clinical care and teach local health care providers at the JFK Hospital. HEARTT has established programs in emergency medicine, internal medicine, pediatrics and orthopaedic surgery at JFK and provides over 70 doctors per year to Liberia for continuous year round clinical care and teaching support.
