Message from Marie Stopes Sierra Leone. It's a very important one.

My birthday

Welcome to the St. John of God Hospital 🏥 popularly known as the Magbesene Hospital 🏨. It is located in Lunsar, Sierra Leone 🇸🇱 and managed by the Brothers Hospitallers of St. John of God 🙏, an international Catholic organization.
It was founded in the 1960s and has several departments, such as Outpatients 🏥, Paediatrics 👶, Medical and Maternity 🤰, Emergency 🚑, Surgery 🏨, Pharmacy 💊 and Microbiology 🦠.
It was known to be the only Sierra Leonean hospital outside of the capital Freetown that has a microbiological department run by the German NGO GLOBOLAB e.V. 🇩🇪 and is twinned with Hospital Sant Joan de Déu Barcelona 🏥.
It has historical ties with Spain, as the Lunsar Hospital was founded by the Brothers of St. John of God from Catalonia. It also has a cooperation program with the Catalan Agency for Development Cooperation. 🤝
