Residents of Janna’s Town in rural Todee District are commending Serene Health Incorporated for what many describe as a life-saving intervention that restored hope and health to one of their community members, Ma Kula Kiazolu.
For nearly two years, Ma Kula endured persistent and excessive bleeding, a serious medical condition known as Abnormal Uterine Bleeding (AUB), often associated with uterine fibroids and other gynecological disorders. The prolonged blood loss left her suffering from severe anemia, commonly referred to in local communities as “low blood,” significantly weakening her condition and threatening her life.
Her situation took a positive turn when a team from Serene Health Incorporated conducted a free medical outreach in the community. During the outreach, healthcare professionals identified the severity of her condition and immediately arranged for her transfer to C.H. Rennie Hospital in Kakata, Margibi County, for urgent medical attention.
According to the organization, Serene Health not only coordinated her emergency transportation but also covered the full cost of her medical treatment and surgery. Following a successful operation, Ma Kula is now recovering and regaining her strength.
Community members have praised the organization for its timely intervention, noting that access to specialized healthcare remains a major challenge for residents in many rural parts of Liberia.
Founded in November 2013 by Liberian nurse Maima Quoi Pelham and a group of volunteer nursing graduates from Cuttington University, Serene Health Incorporated has spent more than a decade working to improve healthcare access for underserved populations across the country.
The non-governmental organization focuses on providing free medical services through mobile clinics and volunteer healthcare teams that travel to remote, peri-urban, and low-income communities where access to healthcare facilities is often limited. Through these initiatives, Serene Health seeks to reduce preventable illnesses and deaths by ensuring that vulnerable Liberians receive quality healthcare regardless of their financial circumstances or geographic location.
Healthcare advocates say stories like Ma Kula’s highlight the critical role community-based medical outreach programs continue to play in addressing gaps in Liberia’s healthcare system, particularly in hard-to-reach rural areas.
As Ma Kula continues her recovery, residents of JANNA’s Town say her story stands as a powerful example of how timely medical intervention, community support, and dedicated healthcare professionals can save lives. “I am grateful for the help I received,” Ma Kula reportedly said following her surgery. “Without the support of Serene Health, I do not know what would have happened to me.”
