ABOUT LAST MILE HEALTH
Founded by survivors of Liberia’s civil war, Last Mile Health (LMH) is committed to saving lives in the world’s most remote villages. Working in remote jungle communities cut off from even basic life-saving health services, LMH is building a health system that reaches everyone—by bringing health care to villagers’ doorsteps. We train community members to be health practitioners for their villages and then we connect them with rural health clinics to offer every person access to the care they deserve. These Frontline Health Workers (FHWs) are able to prevent, diagnose, and treat the top ten most life-threatening health conditions.
Over the past six months, a historic outbreak of the Ebola virus has devastated Liberia and has tragically demonstrated that weak, inequitable health systems leave everybody vulnerable. To match a historic crisis with a historic response, LMH is partnering with Boston-based, Partners in Health (PIH) to launch a significant expansion of LMH’s model, integrated with a package of Ebola treatment and hospital strengthening efforts led by PIH. The goal of this project is to deploy a comprehensive health system—from life-saving essential primary care services in remote communities all the way to strong inpatient Ebola and tertiary care in regional hospitals—for approximately 150,000 rural Liberians, and to work with the Liberian government to sustain that system and expand it to the rest of the country over the coming years.
