| Project Information: |
This Prevention of Blindness Programme with the Christian Health Association of Liberia, located in the capital of Monrovia, has been acting as the umbrella for clearing and forwarding goods to the Liberian hospitals as well as CBM assistance to Curran Lutheran Hospital in Lofa County and St. Joseph's Catholic Hospital in Monrovia. It also helps to facilitate the gifts-in-kind containers from CBMI member associations. A part-time CBM country coordinator has taken over the supervision, coordination and reporting activities. It is planned to request the merger of Curran Lutheran Hospital with Phebe Lutheran Hospital P455 in 2008 into an overall Lutheran Eye Care Programme because only one ophthalmologist is covering both programmes. |
