The opening of the Paul E. Farmer Maternal Center of Excellence (MCOE) marks a major step forward for maternal and neonatal care in Sierra Leone, a country long challenged by high maternal mortality rates. Built through years of partnership, the MCOE aims to ensure every mother and baby receives safe, high-quality, dignified care.
In this webinar, advocates John and Hank Green joined Director of Nursing and Midwifery Isata Dumbuya and nurse-midwife Patricia Efe Azikiwe to share insights on compassionate, patient-centered care, highlighting progress made and the ongoing effort needed to reduce maternal mortality in Sierra Leone.
