• The prevention of disease
• The training of medical personnel
• Working in partnership with individuals and institutions having similar concerns

In 1988 a young Irish Physician found himself at the scene of devastation of two civil wars, surrounded by evidence of recent genocide and the despair of people robbed of the means of rebuilding their lives.

The beginning was humble – a clinic under a tree – but the seed was soon to grow and gradually, a modern hospital took shape. The complex now includes:

• Adults’ and Children’s wards
• T.B. ward
• Obstetric Unit
• Operating Suite
• Outpatients
• Antenatal clinic
• HIV Clinic
• Medical and heavy engineering workshops
• Laboratory and Radiology
• Nursing and Laboratory Schools
• Administration
• Staff accommodation

Regular outreach clinics are held, including an AIDS support programme in the community.
