MONROVIA – Thousands of residents across Grand Cape Mount County are expected to benefit from improved healthcare services following the reopening of the VAAKAI-Way Clinic, a health facility that remained abandoned for nearly two decades.
The clinic was officially dedicated and commissioned on June 5, 2026, after undergoing extensive rehabilitation by Generation-Liberia, a nonprofit organization focused on community development and social transformation across Liberia.
Strategically located to serve more than 18 towns and surrounding communities, the facility is expected to provide essential healthcare services to an estimated 30,000 residents, significantly improving access to medical care in an area long challenged by limited health infrastructure.
The clinic was originally constructed nearly 20 years ago through the Grand Cape Mount County Development Fund under the leadership of the late Senator Edward Dagoseh. However, despite several attempts over the years, the facility remained incomplete and non-operational.
Under the leadership of Generation-Liberia Chief Executive Officer Fanta Kamara, the organization undertook a major renovation project that transformed the deteriorating structure into a functional healthcare center equipped with medical furnishings, medicines, and essential healthcare supplies.
The dedication ceremony attracted county officials, traditional leaders, healthcare workers, women and youth groups, community residents, and representatives of the Grand Cape Mount County Health Team.
Speaking on behalf of Generation-Liberia, spokesperson Boima Gboyango Kamara described the reopening as a major milestone for healthcare delivery in the county.
“This clinic represents far more than a renovated building. It represents hope restored, lives protected, and a future where families no longer have to travel long distances to access basic healthcare services,” he said.
Kamara noted that the project aligns with the organization’s broader mission of improving living conditions in underserved communities through investments in healthcare, education, and community empowerment.
He also acknowledged the support of local residents and stakeholders whose cooperation contributed to the successful completion of the project.
Special tribute was paid to the late Senator Dagoseh, whose vision led to the clinic’s original construction.
“Generation-Liberia did not start this dream. We simply refused to allow it to remain unfinished,” Kamara added.
Health authorities praised the intervention, describing it as a significant boost to the county’s healthcare system. Officials said the clinic will help ease pressure on nearby facilities while expanding access to maternal and child healthcare services, disease prevention programs, treatment for common illnesses, and emergency care.
Community leaders representing the clinic’s catchment areas expressed gratitude to Generation-Liberia and pledged to support efforts aimed at maintaining and protecting the facility.
With its expanded capacity and strategic location, the VAAKAI-Way Clinic is expected to serve as a critical healthcare hub, reducing travel time for patients and improving health outcomes for thousands of residents across the region.
