Sierra Leone Embassy in the Federal Republic of Germany received consignment of medical items last Thursday and the next from its Honorary Consulate in Bavaria, the German capital of Munich. The medical items will be in a shipment in a 40 ft container.

The medical items received earlier were due to the influence of Dr. Obai Bureh Sulaiman, a hard working and dedicated Sierra Leonean Surgeon. He got these items from Bad Wildungen, Germany. The popularity of Dr. Sulaiman does not come as a surprise as he has been instrumental earlier as well and his dedicated efforts are always praiseworthy earning him glory. This surgeon used his personal contacts and in request to this, 14 pallets of medical materials have been received from Werner-Wicker-Klinik to the Sierra Leone Embassy as their contribution.

The World Bank has approved $28 million as grant to control the Ebola outbreak. This contribution was done to avail essential health services and to reduce the Ebola virus disease.

Even with a busy week, Ambassador Stevens took part in a West Africa Ebola awareness session on September 10, 2014 at one of Freddie Mac’s buildings.

At the same time, chaired by Dr. Sandy, the Arc of Hope presented 1500 US dollars cheque as contribution in fighting Ebola virus disease.

Contributions were received from Ms. Beatrice Conteh, All Peoples Congress president on behalf of her membership for 1500 US dollars to Ambassador Stevens. The Yoni USA group, Mr. Samuel Koroa, the President also contributed 1500 U.S. dollars to Ebola. In response, Ambassador Stevens thanked for their gesture to fight Ebola.

The Ambassador said the embassy has made 2 donations to Sierra Leone Ministry of Health and a 40-foot container will reach Sierra Leone with medical supplies on 15th September. He encouraged all to help in dispelling misinformation and rumors.
