The Government of Liberia has Commissioned a newly renovated Maternity Ward and a triage unit at the Government Hospital In Tubmanburg Bomi County.
The project is part of ongoing efforts to strengthen maternal and child healthcare delivery across the country spearheaded and funded by First Lady Kartumu Boakai.
The newly Maternity Ward was commissioned by President Joseph Boakai on Tuesday July 22, 2025. In remakes, President Boakai hailed the First Lady’s unwavering commitment to improving the welfare of Liberian women and children through practical interventions in the health sector.
“This facility is not just a building,” President Boakai remarked. “It is a symbol of hope, care, and the value we place on every Liberian life especially our mothers and newborns.
President Boakai commended the First Lady for her vision and compassion that have brought critical improvement to the people of Bomi County.
The renovated maternity ward and triage unit are equipped with modern delivery beds, essential medical supplies, improved sanitation facilities, and enhanced space for patient care.
The upgrades are expected to significantly reduce maternal and neonatal mortality rates in the region and ease pressure on surrounding health centers.
In her remarks, First Lady Kartumu Yarta Boakai emphasized the need to ensure that no woman dies while giving life. “Too many of our women still face unsafe conditions when they come to deliver. This initiative is a small step toward making maternal health safer and more dignified for our mothers.”
The First Lady further reaffirmed her commitment to partnering with communities and healthcare institutions across Liberia to continue supporting maternal and child health, especially in underserved counties.
The dedication concluded with a tour of the facility and an interaction with staff who expressed gratitude for the transformation. Local authorities praised the Boakai administration for prioritizing people-centered development.
The Government of Liberia remains committed to improving healthcare infrastructure and ensuring equitable access to quality services for all citizens.
The ceremony was attended by Second Lady Madam Synleseh Koung, African Development Bank President, Dr. Akinwumi Adesina, senior government officials, local authorities, health workers, community leaders, and citizens.
