Masanga Hospital or Masanga Leprosy Hospital is an NGO-supported government hospital that provides healthcare in paediatrics, maternity, general medicine and surgery. It is located in Tonkolili district, Northern Province, Sierra Leone, West Africa. [1] 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: Masanga UK, [2] Sierra Leonean Adventists Abroad (SLAA), [1] Masanga Netherlands and Masanga Denmark . [3] Though in the long-term the hospital aims to be fully government-funded, presently it currently subsists on charitable donations. Free healthcare is offered to under-fives and pregnant women, and also to locals of limited means.
