(Monrovia, Liberia, March 31, 2026) — The Ministry of Health (MOH) has received two fully equipped ambulances and a consignment of medical supplies from the World Health Organization (WHO) to strengthen emergency response and maternal and newborn care across the country.
At a handover ceremony in Monrovia, the Minister of Health of the Republic of Liberia, Dr. Louise Mapleh Kpoto, said the donation is both timely and essential, expressing gratitude on behalf of the government and people of Liberia.
The donation comes days after the government launched an ambitious “365-day action plan” to reduce maternal and newborn mortality nationwide.
Dr. Teyah Sackie Moore, the Acting Chief Medical Officer and Deputy Minister for Health Services, noted that the support is a reflection of deepening collaboration between Liberia and its international partners.
According to the WHO Country Representative to Liberia, Dr. Olushago Olu, the package, valued at approximately $600,000, includes not only the ambulances but also life-saving equipment such as infant ventilators, neonatal incubators, and resuscitation tools.
