Dr. Sekouba Saran Conde

 

Dr. Sekouba Conde grew up in Morowaya, studied medicine at a university in Conakry and is currently a practicing physician there.    

 

He has agreed to return to the village with his family and become the village doctor.    

A Doctor and Medical Clinic for Morowaya 

Our initial fundraising goal is $11,000

                                                 

​

Common illnesses such as  malaria, diarrhea and yellow fever are caused by insects bites and parasites.  Other prevalent health concerns in this area of Guinea are infections due to lacerations, respiratory infections, and sickness brought on by childbirth for mothers and their newborn babies.

 

Dr. Conde needs a medical microscope to examine blood, saliva, urine, and fecal matter for a diagnosis and determine treatment.  He will train with Dr. Ansouman Conde at the government hospital in Conakry  before moving to the village.  In Guinea this microscope costs $3,500.    

 

The training and some support for his family will cost about $1,500.

As this medical training is taking place the people in the village will be building house for him and a building to start the clinic in.  The leaders of Morowaya have selected the parcel of land and have started clearing the trees.  The buildings will be made from cement/concrete and have metal roofs.  This will cost an additional $6,000. 

​

The "Friends" have thoughtfully prepared a step-by-step plan allowing time to measure the progress and evaluate when to move forward.
