Masanga Hospital or Masanga Leprosy Hospital is a NGO supported government hospital that provides healthcare in paediatrics, maternity, general medicine and surgery. It is located in Tonkolili district, Northern Province, Sierra Leone, West Africa.[1] The hospital was ransacked and used as a rebel stronghold during the Sierra Leone Civil War, but having reopened in 2006 it is now a functioning rural hospital once more. The hospital is run by a partnership between several European charitable organisations: Masanga UK,[2] Sierra Leonean Adventists Abroad (SLAA),[1] Masanga Netherlands and Masanga Denmark .[3] Though in the long-term the hospital aims to be fully government-funded, presently it currently subsists on charitable donations. Free healthcare is offered to under fives and pregnant women, and also to locals of limited means.
