Liberia: Lawmakers Assess Maryland Health Facilities
[New Dawn] Maryland County -- - Ahead of 2027 Budget
Ahead of the 2027 Budget, a Joint Legislative Committee on Health in Maryland, comprised of Senators and Representatives, conducted an assessment of healthcare facilities across Maryland County. The delegation, led by Senator Dabah M. Varpilah, was welcomed by Maryland County Superintendent Nathaniel Toe Jr., chair of the County Health Team Board.
The assessment aims to provide lawmakers with insights into the progress, operational challenges, and critical needs of Liberia's healthcare system as they deliberate on health-sector priorities for the upcoming 2027 National Budget. During their visit to J.J. Dossen Hospital, the lawmakers toured the facility and discussed its operations, achievements, and challenges with health authorities.
They also gathered information on health infrastructure, service delivery, and other areas requiring legislative intervention and budgetary support. The exercise is part of an ongoing tour across Liberia's 15 counties to give lawmakers firsthand information about the state of the country's healthcare system. Maryland County Superintendent Toe expressed hope that the assessment would draw attention to the county's healthcare needs and inform decisions to address them.
