German Doctors have supported this hospital in Sierra Leone since 2010. The Serabu Community Hospital is located in a rural area, in the Bumpeh Ngao Chiefdom, Bo District and is the only medical facility available for 50,000 people. German medical specialists treat patients there and train skilled native medical personnel. Sierra Leone’s clinical health workers are trained in this hospital to later be able to provide medical care independently. The most important task is to lower the mother and child mortality. The medical priorities are obstetrics, infections, surgical emergencies, and , increasingly, chronic internal diseases.

The Serabu Community hospital consists of an emergency ward, an outpatient clinic, and inpatient wards, which are divided into wards for women, men, children, and a postnatal ward with a total of 143 beds.

The German Doctors have officially declared that they will pull out from the 2nd August 2021 or with conditions on the 31st December 2021. If the services are stopped, it will be a big blow not only to the community of Serabu but the country and neighboring countries whose patients seek treatment at this hospital.

This petition is a plea to the German Doctors to continue with their services that have saved lives in the country and beyond.
