Mission

Our mission is to strengthen the health care system in Sierra Leone.

 

Vision

The health care system in Sierra Leone may best be served by increasing the number of mid-level Physician Assistants (PA’s) in hospitals. Several NGO’s have implemented advanced training programs to educate PA’s in key medical specializations. By providing financial grants to these students, WNF enables them to focus on their studies and not being obliged to earn extra money in the evenings. 

People in small, remote villages in Sierra Leone often lack access to health care, due to ignorance or all kind of barriers to overcome the threshold to go to a hospital. By creating a ‘mobile access point’ in which patients in time are identified and referred for follow-up to the hospital (Outreach interventions) WNF bridges the gap between the hospital and the communities.

In general, the core principle of ‘Outreach’ is to bring services to the people where they live. The concept of our Outreach services includes information providing, screening/diagnostics, consultations.

If we focus our Outreach services to the specialisations of Masanga Hospital and our sponsored students may carry out the interventions, we create a full scale win-win situation. The local community that we serve is linked up to the health care system, the hospital benefits of the intake of the patients and the students gain work experience that support their studies. On top of that, rural health care will ultimately lead to greater prosperity for the communities and indirectly support their economies.

​​

Goals

•  Provide scholarships to students in the major medical specializations.

•  Develop Outreach programs that meet the needs of the local communities, are aligned to the hospital specializations and provide a working environment for our sponsored students. 

•  Gather sufficient financial means to cover the costs of our activities.

Details about our goals can be found in our Policy Statement.
