Buchanan is only 90 miles from Monrovia, the capital of Liberia but due to the road conditions it is about a 4 hour drive each way! The clinic is run by Sr. Carmen Nava, RN (Consolata Sisters) of the St Peter Claver Health Centre. The health centre’s beneficiaries include children, pregnant women and adults from the surrounding counties many of whom walk for hours to receive medical aid. We have sent medical goods on containers and have recently supported the building of a Voluntary Counseling and Testing centre for Aids patients and a storeroom in Buchanan. The health center’s constraints are enormous especially with severe shortages of funds to pay for medicines, cash, and salaries for the clinic’s 24 staff.
