The Lofa County Health Team has officially broken ground for the construction of a new Primary Health Clinic in Gorlu Town, Salayea District.
The latest development, marks a step to improve healthcare access for the locals.
The ceremony congregated the Superintendent, the Representative of Electoral District #5, the Commissioner of Salayea District, and citizens from various communities in the district.
The construction of the facility is to address some of the healthcare challenges confronting residents, particularly those in rural and hard-to-reach communities that often face difficulties accessing medical services.
Upon completion, the clinic will provide improved maternal and child healthcare. The facility is also anticipated to reduce the distance residents must travel to seek medical attention, thereby improving access to timely healthcare.
It highlights ongoing efforts by the County Health Team, and local authorities to strengthen healthcare infrastructure, and expand services in the county.

The groundbreaking marks the beginning of a project to bring healthcare services closer to the people of Gorlu Town, and neighboring communities in Salayea District.
