John F. Kennedy Medical Center is the national medical center of Liberia, located in the Sinkor district of Monrovia. ==History== The JFK Medical Center was built at the request of Liberian President William V.S. Tubman, whose 1961 visit with U.S. President John F. Kennedy laid the groundwork for USAID funding for a national medical center in Liberia. The project was funded with a $6.8 million loan and $9.2 million in grants from USAID and a $1 million contribution from the Liberian Government. Construction began in 1965 and the facility opened on July 27, 1971. 〔Cokasco, Inc. "Impact Study; John F. Kennedy Medical Center" March 1980.

Kennedy Memorial Hospital *Maternity Hospital *Tubman National Institute of Medical Arts (a paramedical and nursing school) *Catherine Mills Rehabilitation Hospital (a psychiatric care facility) The maternity hospital was rebuilt in 1981 with funding from the Japanese government and named the Liberian-Japanese Friendship Maternity Hospital.〔"JICA's Programs in Liberia" http://www.jica.go.jp/ghana/english/office/liberia/program.html〕 The Catherine Mills Rehabilitation Hospital was completely destroyed during the Liberian civil conflict. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「John F.
