BECAUSE EVERY LIFE MATTERS
WE STRIVE TO DELIVER THE BEST CARE AVAILABLE TO OUR PATIENTS
Wellbody Alliance believes healthcare is a human right.
We promise that we will do everything in our power to guarantee the highest possible available care to every patient who comes through our clinic doors. In 2012, we provided nearly 30,000 patients in rural Sierra Leone with life-saving healthcare.
Free care for amputees and war-wounded.
Wellbody Alliance guarantees completely free healthcare to all civilians wounded during the country's civil war. This unique population faces extreme poverty, stigma and isolation, and Wellbody provides healthcare and poverty alleviation initiatives in amputee communities.
Pills alone aren't enough to address HIV/AIDS.
In addition to comprehensive clinical care for HIV patients, Wellbody Alliance's community healthworkers visit HIV patients each day in their homes, providing social support, counseling, reminders on how to take their medication and communication with Wellbody's medical staff.
Livelihood projects for our patients to generate income with dignity.
In order to improve our patients’ health and quality of life in the long term, we must address social and economic realities in addition to medical problems. Wellbody Alliance manages a large livestock project in collaboration with five communities as well as a community palm-oil factory.
Primary healthcare made accessible to all.
Wellbody's team of primary care specialists serve up to 100 patients a day for infectious, acute and chronic medical conditions. Over 70% of Wellbody's patients receive care completely free-of-charge.
Bridging the gap from clinic to community.
Wellbody's community healthworkers visit pregnant women and children in their homes to evaluate them for signs of illness, educate them on safe-practices, remind them to attend well-person appointments, and coordinate emergency care when needed.
Voices of Kono: Wellbody's blog series.
Voices of Kono is a bi-weekly series featuring patient, staff and community stories and photographs from Kono District, Sierra Leone.
Building a system to address Kono's maternal health state-of-emergency.
1 in 20 women will die during childbirth in Sierra Leone, where even the most basic of complications can become life-threatening. Wellbody Alliance works to guarantee prompt, effective emergency care to all of its pregnant patients.
