He said the funds for these equipments were raised in partnership with Project CURE, a benevolent foundation which approached health care institutions in the USA with some of them donating materials. He said the support came as a result of follow-ups made by LEAD Global in partnership with Project CURE in mid July last year.
Osman said the support was a response to the president's call for partners to help in containing the alarming maternal and infant mortality rate in the country. He said in view of this, they saw it as a duty to come together and help address the country's ailing health sector.
"I met people with leadership quality to bring development to this country, especially in the area of health," he said, adding that five other hospitals including government hospitals in Makeni, Kenema, Bo and Magburaka will also benefit from the assistance.
He said after inspecting facilities at these hospitals, they held brief discussions with officials of the Health ministry about their findings. He informed the press that they have mobilized some Sierra Leonean doctors in the diaspora to come home and render free medical assistance to sick people in the country.
The CEO said their mission was to be a catalyst in the development of leaders of excellence, who will model and promote spiritual, mental and professional excellence, and are agents of change and influence in their areas of responsibility and society at large.
He said they have supported people in health in Ouagadougou, rural agricultural project and school for the deaf in Burkina Faso.
The welcome address was given by Dr. Alhassan Sesay, while the P.S. Edward Bai Kamara introduced CEO Donald C. Osman.
