By James T. BrooksThe Ministry of Health has reached a significant milestone in strengthening Liberia’s specialized healthcare services following the delivery of advanced video colposcopy and endoscopy equipment to three of the nation’s major referral hospitals. In a further boost to the nation’s premier medical facility, the JFK Medical Center also received a fully equipped upper and lower gastrointestinal endoscopy tower. This sophisticated system includes specialized scopes and cameras designed to dramatically improve both diagnostic and therapeutic services for patients suffering from digestive tract disorders. Speaking during the handover ceremony, Minister of Health Dr. Louise Mapleh Kpoto emphasized that the absence of modern diagnostic tools has historically hampered the delivery of specialized care, particularly regarding women’s reproductive health. Beyond reproductive health, the installation of the endoscopy system at JFK Medical Center represents a leap forward in gastrointestinal care.
