The Inspector General of Police (IGP), William Fayia Sellu, has received a delegation of Spanish doctors who will carry out a free surgical campaign at the Sierra Leone Police Hospital in Kingtom, Freetown.
Scheduled to run over several days, the medical outreach aims to provide life-saving surgical services free of charge to police officers and members of the public who might otherwise struggle to afford specialized treatment. The initiative forms part of the Police Medical Services’ commitment to improving healthcare delivery in Sierra Leone.
Welcoming the delegation, IGP Sellu praised the doctors’ humanitarian mission and emphasized the importance of international partnerships in strengthening the country’s healthcare system.
“The Police Hospital continues to serve not only our officers and their families but also the general public. This initiative by our Spanish partners is a blessing, and it will go a long way in saving lives. We are grateful for their generosity and commitment to service,” the IGP said.
The Spanish medical team assured the IGP and Police leadership of their readiness to begin the campaign immediately. They emphasized their goal of making quality healthcare accessible to those in urgent need of surgical intervention.
The Police Hospital, originally established to serve officers, has in recent years expanded its services to the public. Partnerships with foreign medical teams have facilitated several outreach campaigns, covering both general and specialized surgeries, offering hope to patients who had long been on waiting lists.
This year’s campaign is expected to benefit hundreds of patients, many of whom have already registered for screening. Surgical procedures will include hernia repairs, goiter operations, and other essential treatments.
