As part of what has become government of Liberia’s ‘dedication spree’, the Ministry of Health (MoH) and Ministry of Education officially commissioned newly constructed facilities in different parts of the country.
For MoH, it dedicated staff quarters at Arthington Clinic in Lower Virginia, Montserrado County, in a move aimed at improving accommodation and working conditions for healthcare personnel serving the facility.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony, held on Friday, July 24, 2026, was led by the Chief Medical Officer of the Republic of Liberia, Dr. Catherine T. Cooper, and attended by local government officials, health authorities, community leaders, and residents.
The newly completed facility consists of a fully furnished duplex, with each unit containing three bedrooms. According to the Ministry of Health, the staff quarters were constructed to provide safe, secure, and comfortable housing for healthcare workers assigned to Arthington Clinic.
Health officials said the project reflects the government’s commitment to strengthening Liberia’s healthcare system by improving the welfare of frontline medical personnel and creating an enabling environment for effective healthcare delivery.
Speaking during the ceremony, officials emphasized that access to decent accommodation is expected to boost staff morale, improve retention of healthcare workers in rural and underserved communities, and enhance the quality of services provided at the clinic.
Community leaders welcomed the completion of the project, describing it as a significant investment in the local health sector and a demonstration of the government’s commitment to expanding access to quality healthcare.
The Ministry of Health reaffirmed its commitment to improving health infrastructure across the country, noting that investments in healthcare workers remain central to efforts to strengthen service delivery and improve health outcomes for all Liberians.
