In 2014-2015, International Mutual Aid (IMA) responded to Sierra Leone during the West African Ebola epidemic.
Now, IMA's clinicians are back, providing primary and emergency healthcare, and living alongside the people of Gbamandu village.
Join us as we spend our days treating every imaginable condition: from high-risk pregnancies to typhoid, schistosomiasis, beri-beri, tropical abscesses, river blindness, and neonatal sepsis.
