The Liberia National Red Cross Society (LNRCS) has donated assorted medical supplies to the John F. Kennedy Medical Center (JFK).
The donation is aimed at enhancing the hospital’s capacity to treat wounds and save lives, particularly in the wake of the recent Margibi incident.
“We provided essential materials including cotton wool, gauze pads, gauze bandages, elastic bandages, examination gloves, scissors, nose masks, and isolation gowns needed to treat accident victims who sustained injuries and burns after a vehicle recently somersaulted and exploded along the Kakata-Weala highway,” Gregory Blamo, Secretary General of LNRCS said on Wednesday, May 29, 2024 when he made the donation.
The presentation of medical supplies was in response to an urgent request from JFK.
Blamo said the materials are critical for the hospital’s daily operations, especially in handling accident cases and other medical emergencies.
“We extend our deepest empathy to all those injured in the Margibi incident. Our hearts go out to you during this challenging time, and we wish you a swift and full recovery,” Blamo added.
