UNICEF donates communications equipment to health centres

    ABIDJAN

    UNICEF says it has provided and installed five HF radios with solar panels and other accessories at medical centres in five districts in the central county of Nimba in order to facilitate communication with the hospital in Saniquellie, the county’s town. About 10 radio operators were also recruited and trained, UNICEF said in its March situation report on Liberia. It said the idea was to facilitate rapid evacuation to Saniquellie of expectant mothers with pregnancy complications so that they can receive appropriate treatment on time.
