Neglected Senthai Maternal Child Health Post Receives Hope for Revitalization in Kambia

The Senthai Maternal Child Health Post, nestled in Senthai village within Magbema Chiefdom and Kamba section, has long endured neglect and deprivation of essential resources, leaving its infrastructure crumbling and its capacity to provide medical care severely compromised.

According to the citizens, the facility’s dilapidated building, with cracked walls and a leaky roof barely offering protection from the elements, stands as a stark reminder of the challenges faced by healthcare providers and patients alike.

Inside, the situation is dire, with sparse rooms lacking basic medical equipment and supplies. The dedicated staff, comprising just two nurses, struggle tirelessly to deliver care to the villagers who flock to the post seeking medical attention. However, with limited resources and medicines in short supply, patients often endure long waits, sometimes spanning hours or even days, before receiving the treatment they urgently require.

The repercussions of this neglect are grave, as the lack of proper medical supplies and equipment results in a substandard quality of care, leading to unnecessary suffering and, tragically, preventable deaths. Recognizing the urgency of the situation, Mr. Sorie I. Kamara, a stakeholder in the Senthai community, has been vocal in advocating for improvements to the health facility.

Expressing gratitude to Honorable Member of Parliament, Hon. Abdul Karim Kamara, for his unwavering dedication to enhancing healthcare infrastructure, Mr. Kamara commends the parliamentarian for his commitment to addressing the pressing need for a standard health facility in the area. Hon. Kamara’s leadership and determination have been instrumental in advancing this critical project, which promises to significantly benefit the residents of Senthai and its surrounding areas.

As the community eagerly anticipates the completion of the project and the positive impact it will have on their lives, they extend heartfelt appreciation to Hon. Abdul Karim Kamara for his tireless efforts in prioritizing the healthcare needs of his constituents. With his leadership, they remain hopeful for a brighter and healthier future for Senthai and its inhabitants.
