โโGrand Bassaโ ArcelorMittal Liberia (AML), in collaboration with the Grand Bassa County Health Team, has launched a free community health outreach program aimed at improving access to essential healthcare services for residents of fence-line communities in District #3.โโ
The initiative, which began over the weekend in Bacconi, is providing free medications, routine vaccinations, and health education to underserved communities, including Bacconi, St. John/KM91, and Isaac Anjuah.
The outreach seeks to address common health challenges while encouraging preventive care and healthier lifestyles among residents.โโ
During the exercise, health professionals conducted basic medical screenings, distributed essential drugs, and educated community members on disease prevention, hygiene practices, maternal and child health, and the importance of seeking timely medical care.
Residents have welcomed the intervention, describing it as timely and lifesaving, particularly for families with limited access to healthcare facilities.โโ
Speaking on the initiative, representatives of ArcelorMittal Liberia reaffirmed the companyโs commitment to the wellbeing of its host communities, noting that health remains a central pillar of AMLโs social responsibility and community development agenda.
โโThe wellbeing of our host communities comes first. Through partnerships like this, we are addressing immediate health needs while building long-term community resilience.โโโ The company stated.
Officials of the Grand Bassa County Health Team also praised the collaboration, emphasizing that partnerships with the private sector are vital to expanding healthcare services to hard-to-reach areas and advancing the countyโs public health goals.โโ
The free community health outreach highlights ArcelorMittal Liberiaโs continued commitment to social development and its belief that healthy communities are essential for sustainable growth.
As the program continues, more residents across the targeted communities are expected to benefit from improved access to quality healthcare services.
