Health Challenges in Liberia

Limited Access to Preventive Care

Preventable diseases remain leading causes of mortality due to inadequate health education and limited access to vaccinations.

Rising Chronic Illnesses

Conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease are increasing, often undiagnosed and untreated.

Malnutrition and Food Insecurity

Nearly 15% of Liberian children suffer from acute malnutrition, impacting their growth and cognitive development.
