Today, Jon travels to the main COVID-19 hospital in Sierra Leone, the 34 Military Hospital, and checks in with Dr. Marta Lado, PIH-Sierra Leone's chief medical officer. Dr. Lado has been seeing COVID-19 patients since the outbreak reached Sierra Leone six weeks ago, and shares updates on how staff, stuff, space, and systems are coming together at the hospital to provide COVID care.
She also gives a shout-out to all of the nurses at 34 Military, in Kono, and around the country: "the core of the health care system." Happy Nurses Week!
