Our professionally staffed clinic provides much-needed medical assistance and treatment to all the children at the Children’s Center. Our clinic also serves our local staff and others in the community. We have registered nurses on duty 24 hours a day, and doctors who oversee the work of the clinic, intervening in serious cases. We also have opportunities for doctors from other countries to visit Sierra Leone for short-term visits to provide extra care.
All As One hopes to eventually open another clinic specifically targeted for children under the age of 5 and destitute pregnant women. Sierra Leone has the world’s worst infant mortality rate (1 in 4 will die by the age of 5) and also the world’s worst maternal mortality rate (1 in 6 at risk of dying). In addition, a large population of adolescent girls is involved in the commercial sex trade in Sierra Leone. These young women are particularly vulnerable to sexually transmitted diseases (STD), unwanted pregnancies, and HIV/AIDS.
