Wellbody Alliance
Wellbody Alliance is a 501(c)(3) registered nonprofit organization working to provide healthcare as a human right in Kono District, Sierra Leone. In addition to running a primary care facility, Wellbody operates a women’s center and will open a birth center in 2015. They also focus on the prevention and treatment of HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis and provide medical services to amputee victims from the 11-year Sierra Leone Civil War. Their response effort during the Ebola virus epidemic in West Africa has received widespread media attention. These efforts include supporting four treatment facilities in rural Kono, house-to-house contract tracing and surveillance, the large-scale distribution of protective gear throughout Sierra Leone and an emphasis on sensitive community engagement to help stop the spread of the virus.〔http://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2014/08/the-danger-in-losing-sight-of-ebola-victims-humanity/378945/〕〔Fink, Sherri. “With Aid Doctors Gone, Ebola Fight Grows Harder”.

==History==
Wellbody Alliance was founded in 2006 by Dr. Bailor Barrie, a recent graduate of The University of Sierra Leone’s medical school in Freetown, and Dr. Dan Kelly, a medical student from Princeton University. The two formed Wellbody, then called Global Action Foundation, and served communities out of a mobile clinic. At the time, their focus was providing amputee victims with high quality, accessible healthcare.〔Miller, Rathe. "Healing the horror". The Philadelphia Inquirer. 11/02/2008.

In 2008, the two founded a clinic in Kono District, where only four doctors serve a population of 400,000, 1 in 23 women dies during childbirth and 1 in 5 children dies before age 5.〔World Bank, Sierra Leone Data Bank, 2011, http://data.worldbank.org/country/sierra-leone.〕
