Liberia (Bong County)
Hospital M/E/P Facility Assessment
Phebe Hospital
EMI Project 5419
March 5 - 16, 2007
Project Scope
Since 1921, Phebe Hospital has provided Christian health care to over 500,000 people in the region of Bong County, Liberia and currently services up to 150 outpatients daily and provides care to 125 inpatients daily. Established through the funds of American churches, the hospital carried out its mission to the sick and injured through both gospel workers and Liberian Christians, even through the terrible years of civil war that have brought this nation to its current place of desperation.
The current hospital facility was constructed in 1964. Numerous Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (M/E/P) issues are developing because of the age of the facility. Future improvements need to be planned and not executed on a fix-it-when-it-breaks basis. Phebe Hospital commissioned eMi in March 2007 to conduct an M/E/P facility assessment. The assessment team outfitted Phebe Hospital for continued service to Liberians who so desperately need a vision for a hopeful future.
Without Phebe, the only hospital serving the half-million or more residents of the three counties of Bong, Lofa, and Nimba, people would have to travel 120 miles to Monrovia to find health care! Most could never afford the transportation cost to the capitol.
