Liberia: New Redemption Hospital 92 Percent Complete
[New Dawn] The Government of Liberia is pushing for the speedy completion and opening of the New Redemption Hospital in Caldwell, Montserrado County, as construction of the facility reaches approximately 92 percent.
The Government of Liberia is prioritizing the swift completion and opening of the New Redemption Hospital in Caldwell, Montserrado County, as construction currently stands at around 92% complete. Finance and Development Planning Minister Augustine Kpehe Ngafuan emphasized the importance of finishing the hospital during an inspection with Health Minister Dr. Louise Kpoto, officials from the Ministries of Finance and Health, project managers, and contractors.
Ngafuan urged the team to openly address any outstanding issues that could hinder the project's timely completion, as the government's focus is on getting the hospital operational rather than assigning blame for past delays. The hospital project, initiated in 2016 as part of Liberia's post-Ebola recovery efforts, is now seen as a critical component of the government's ARREST Agenda to strengthen healthcare delivery.
Health Minister Kpoto reported that construction is almost complete, with final finishing, cleaning, and improvements to pedestrian access still needed. Contractors are also preparing to install medical equipment and make necessary improvements to the facility for operations. Once operational, the new hospital is expected to enhance healthcare access for residents of Caldwell, Red Light, and surrounding communities while improving maternal and newborn healthcare services and relieving pressure on existing health facilities.
