The Hatfield Archer Memorial Hospital is a hospital in the town of Rotifunk, Moyamba District, Southern Province, Sierra Leone. It has 52 beds. [1]

The hospital is named for Marietta Hatfield and Mary Archer, two members of a group of five United Brethren in Christ missionaries who were killed at Rotifunk during the Hut Tax War of 1898. [2] The facility was dedicated as the Hatfield-Archer Medical Dispensary in 1906. [3] It was later known as Rotifunk Hospital but was rededicated under its current name in 2014. [1]
