🔍 Behind the Scenes: Getting medicines from port to patients At HIRF, receiving a shipment in Freetown is only the beginning. Following the arrival of our latest delivery of medicines from MAP International, the team immediately set to work. From offloading at the port ➝ transporting to the warehouse ➝ carefully checking in and documenting every item, we make sure these critical medicines and supplies are tracked and ready for distribution. This process ensures they reach the health facilities and patients who need them most. 📦 Distribution will begin shortly, strengthening HIRF’s programs in maternal care, chronic disease management, and surgical care. 🔗 Learn more about the value of this shipment and how it supports our ongoing work by reading our latest blog: https://bit.ly/46aI7GZ #globalhealth #SierraLeone #partnerships #NCDs #maternalhealth (fb)
