Executive Mansion, Monrovia - President Joseph Nyuma Boakai, Sr., President of the Republic of Liberia today dedicated the newly renovated Maternal Ward of the Pipeline Community Health Center in Paynesville.

The refurbishment, spearheaded by the First Lady, Madam Kartumu Y. Boakai, marks a significant milestone in enhancing maternal healthcare services for residents of the Pipeline community and surrounding areas.

The project was launched as part of the First Lady’s commitment to improving healthcare infrastructure and addressing the urgent needs of underserved communities.

With support from the Government of Liberia, the initiative has transformed the once-deplorable facility into a modern, well-equipped maternal ward, capable of delivering quality care to expectant mothers.

Speaking at the ceremony, President Boakai lauded the efforts of the First Lady and her team for their dedication and vision in bringing this project to fruition.

“Maternal health is the cornerstone of a healthy society,” President Boakai said.

“By investing in facilities like these, we ensure that every woman has access to safe and quality care during pregnancy and childbirth. This is an investment in our nation’s future.” He intoned.

The Pipeline Community Health Center, which had not undergone significant upgrades since its post-war renovation in 2006, now features state-of-the-art equipment and modern amenities tailored to meet the needs of the community.

During the dedication, the President, joined by the First Lady, cut the ribbon to officially open the facility. The event was met with joyous celebrations from community members, who expressed their gratitude for the improved healthcare services.

The First Lady, Madam Kartumu Y. Boakai, reaffirmed her commitment to championing initiatives that uplift the health and well-being of Liberians.

“Every mother deserves the dignity and safety of quality healthcare,” Madam Boakai said. “This renovated ward is a testament to what we can achieve when we prioritize the needs of our communities.” She said.

The President and First Lady toured the facility, which now stands as a beacon of hope and a testament to the power of collaboration and determination.

The newly upgraded Pipeline Community Health Center is expected to significantly improve maternal health outcomes in the region, serving as a model for future healthcare projects across Liberia.
