The new Domo Nimene Hospital stands tall in Sasstown Down Beach as a symbol of progress, hope, and a promise for better healthcare.
But long before the concrete walls and modern structure was erected, there was a man working from a distance. His name is Dr. Flomo Dorbor.
Dorbor told official during the turnover ceremony, that his words carried the weight of years spent saving lives in conditions many would have abandoned.
Since 2007, Dr. Dorbor, has made known his professional presence in Grand Kru County, providing essential care where the need is demanding.
From Rally Time Hospital in Grandcess to his current post in Sasstown, Dorbor journey has been defined by service.
“I was asked to come here, and I agreed. This is our country; we have to do the work.”
When he first arrived, there was no hospital as it stands today. No proper operating room. Only a small thatch building made possible by a determined local woman.
That space became his theatre.
“I performed surgeries there, even when water leaked inside.”
It is the kind of commitment that rarely makes headlines, but saves lives quietly every day.
One story, however, stayed with him.
A disagreement over a small amount of money with a fisherman turned into something more.
The next day, the same man came rushing back, not as a trader, but as a desperate father.
His daughter needed urgent care.
“At first, I refused, but then, I remembered that I am here to save lives.”
He stepped in, and the girl is well and freely living.
“Health workers are human too. They are sometimes tired; sometimes they are hungry, but they still show up.”
Even so, not everyone is willing to endure such conditions.
“Some doctors say they cannot work here at all,” but Dorbor took up the challenge.
