Kenema Hospital Opens - WEBCLIP (ENG)

Social media suggestions:

1) Ebola wreaked havoc on the healthcare system in this part of Sierra Leone. Now MSF has opened a new hospital here. Take a look inside.

2) Nearly 1 in 5 kids don’t make it to their fifth birthday in Sierra Leone. That’s one reason we built a new hospital here in the country’s Kenema District.

3) Kids under five are filling up our brand new hospital in Sierra Leone. We took our cameras to the country’s Kenema District to check it out.

Additional Information / Shotlist Script:

Welcome to MSF’s new hospital in Sierra Leone’s Kenema district. [Locator: Hangha, Sierra Leone]

Maternal and child mortality rates are among the highest in the world here.

These rates have increased since the 2014 Ebola outbreak,
which ravaged much of the area’s healthcare infrastructure.

Nearly 1 in 5 kids here don’t reach their fifth birthday.

That’s why MSF built this new pediatric hospital.

And we’re working with the Ministry of Health and Sanitation to make it all happen.

Right now, we’re treating kids under five for things like malnutrition, malaria and much more.

This hospital is also growing.

In future, we hope to offer maternity services.

“Hi! Goodbye!”
