In the MSF Children’s Hospital in Monrovia, Liberia, critically ill children are treated year-round. Many suffer life-threatening complications of malaria—like 10-year-old Paul B. Morris Junior, who arrived unconscious. Paul’s mother Lydia and the team who treated him shared step-by-step what happened next in the article published on msf.org.au/article/stories-patients-staff/liberia-it-only-takes-one-bite.

Also known as the Bardnesville Junction Hospital due to its location, the MSF Children's Hospital treats children under the age of 15 for a wide variety of medical conditions, with services including paediatric surgery. The hospital also facilitates training for Liberian health workers in various aspects of paediatric care. In 2020, the hospital admitted a total of 4,251 patients.
