| The Kambia Hospital Appeal was formed in 1992 to medically assist
the hospital and people of Kambia, northern Sierra Leone. Over 20 people
from surgeons downward have worked and trained there. Many local staff
has been trained in the UK, and the doctor has just returned from a course
at the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine. 500 Traditional Birth Attendants
have also been trained there. Most of the equipment we have supplied was
lost during the rebel attack in February 1999, but 2 Land Rovers were left
in safe keeping. The rebels burned the hospital and we await a full description
on it, but we expect to rebuild it. Architect's plans have been provided
and costs are estimated to be £2 million, which includes equipment.
