Dr. Fatima Maada Bio toured the new multipurpose complex in Freetown. The expansion included plans for a dedicated Centre of Excellence for survivors of sexual and gender-based violence.
Inside the new complex
The tour covered the new 600-bed complex, including its diagnostic facilities. Photographs from the visit show a ward with rows of beds, the group touring the interior and one of the buildings from outside.
A centre designed around survivor care
At the time of the tour, the Centre of Excellence had been designed to bring medical care, counselling and rehabilitation together for survivors of sexual and gender-based violence.
Plans for wider access to care
The multipurpose complex was designed to accommodate emergency and specialist treatment. The expansion was intended to widen access to care, with the Centre of Excellence providing a dedicated setting for survivor support. These plans describe the project at the time of the December 2024 tour.
