Masanga Hospital or Masanga Leprosy Hospital is a hospital that currently provides healthcare in paediatrics, maternity, general medicine and surgery. It is located in Tonkolili district, Northern Province, Sierra Leone, West Africa.〔Sierra Leonean Adventists Abroad '()'〕 The hospital was ransacked and used as a rebel stronghold during the Sierra Leone Civil War, but having reopened in 2006 it is now a functioning rural hospital once more. The hospital is run by a partnership between several European charitable organisations: MasangaUK,〔Masanga UK '()'〕 Sierra Leonean Adventists Abroad (SLAA)〔 and Associated Friends of Masanga (AFOM).〔Associated Friends of Masanga '()'〕 Though in the long-term the hospital aims to be government-funded, it currently subsides on charitable donations. Free healthcare is offered to under fives and pregnant women, and also to locals of limited means. ==Services offered==
The hospital consists of a surgical ward with male and female wings of around 20 beds each, a maternity ward, paediatrics ward and stabilisation centre for malnourished children. There is an outpatients department, which sees a large volume of patients each day, and includes a wound clinic with specialist care for leprosy patients and tropical ulcers. There are two theatres, which perform planned hernia, hydrocele and amputation operations, and unplanned abdominal surgery and caesarian section operations. There is a laboratory capable of testing for malaria, blood borne viruses, gastrointestinal paracytes, tuberculosis and leprosy, blood typing and performing further diagnostic tests. The hospital also has some capabilities in dentistry and ophthalmology.〔Visit to the hospital by the author, Jack Pickard, in September 2011〕
