Salayea District, Lofa County |Feb. 4,2026 | In a timely intervention aimed at strengthening basic healthcare delivery in rural communities, Madam Youngor Barco Cole has donated essential hygiene materials to several health facilities in Salayea District, Lofa County.
The donation, which included toilet tissue, chloral, and soap, was distributed to Salayea Clinic, Yarpuah Clinic, Gbanway Clinic, and Sucromu Clinic. These items are considered critical for maintaining sanitation standards in healthcare facilities, especially in rural areas where resources constraint often persist.
Health workers at the beneficiary clinics expressed appreciation for the gesture, describing it as not only timely but both thoughtful and impactful. According to them, hygiene materials such as soap and disinfectants are frequently in short supply, yet they play a crucial role in infection prevention, patient safety, and the overall quality of care.
“These items may look small, but they are very important to our daily work,” one health worker noted. “They help us protect patients, especially pregnant women, children, and the elderly, from preventable diseases.”
Community members across Salayea District also praised Madam Cole for her continued concern for rural healthcare facilities and overall national development.
Many described the donation as a practical demonstration of leadership and compassion, particularly at a time when rural clinics are struggling with inadequate supplies.
Residents emphasized that access to clean and safe healthcare environments is essential for improving health outcomes in remote communities, and they lauded Madam Cole for remembering clinics that are often overlooked and discounted.
The donation forms part of Madam Youngor Barco Cole’s ongoing efforts to support grassroots development and improve basic social services, particularly healthcare; in rural areas. Her intervention aligns with broader public health goals focused on disease prevention, maternal health, and community well-being.
As rural clinics continue to serve as the first point of contact for healthcare in Salayea District, stakeholders believe such support will go a long way in enhancing service delivery and restoring confidence in the local health system.
