Bopolu, Gbarpolu County – In a groundbreaking effort to tackle persistent healthcare challenges in rural Liberia, Gbarpolu County District #1 Representative, Hon. Zinnah A. Norman, has launched a Mobile Healthcare Clinic in Bopolu District.
The facility, the first of its kind in the area, is designed to deliver vital medical services directly to towns and villages where residents face major obstacles such as poor road networks, long travel distances, and limited health infrastructure.
During the launch, Rep. Norman reaffirmed his commitment to improving the wellbeing of his constituents, particularly vulnerable groups such as women, children, and the elderly.
“Healthcare is a basic human right, not a privilege. Too many of our people die from treatable and preventable illnesses simply because they cannot reach a clinic or hospital. This Mobile Healthcare Clinic will take services to the people, ensuring that every community, no matter how remote, receives the care it deserves,” he stated.
Community leaders and residents welcomed the project as a lifesaving initiative, stressing that it will help curb preventable deaths and strengthen public health. Traditional authorities in Bopolu praised Rep. Norman’s leadership, noting that the clinic reflects a deep concern for the lives of ordinary citizens.
Health experts say the project could serve as a model for other rural counties still grappling with inadequate health delivery systems.
Rep. Norman assured that the effort goes beyond a one-time intervention, highlighting it as part of a broader, long-term healthcare plan.
“This is only the beginning. Our mission is to ensure that no resident of District #1 is left behind in accessing healthcare. Together, we can save lives and build a healthier future for Gbarpolu County,” he emphasized.
The launch of the Mobile Healthcare Clinic marks a significant step toward closing the healthcare gap between urban centers and underserved rural communities in Liberia.
