Assuring Health Care in Guinea

It used to be that if you fell ill in Pela, a community in southeast Guinea, you would have travel 19 miles to the nearest health center in Yomou.

It hadn’t always been this way. At one time, Pela had its own health center. After it was destroyed by a fire, the villagers had no choice but to make the journey to Yomou to seek medical attention. The situation was especially difficult for pregnant women who needed immediate medical assistance.

Realizing the strain being put on the community, Plan began construction on a new health center for the villagers.
