Led by Liberian-born retired U.S. Navy Commander and infectious disease specialist Dr. Nehkonti Adams, the delegation selected Yekepa Hospital in recognition of its strong operational presence and high standard of healthcare delivery in Nimba County.
Receiving the delegation on behalf of AML’s corporate management, Head of Social Services Mrs. Charlesetta Peters reaffirmed the company’s commitment to building strategic partnerships that strengthen healthcare delivery and community wellbeing.
Chief Medical Officer Dr. Garfee Williams led the team on a tour of the facility, highlighting the hospital’s long-standing legacy dating back to the 1960s and its current role as a regional referral center serving employees, dependents, host communities, and patients from neighboring Guinea.
Dr. Adams expressed optimism about future collaboration, noting that AML Yekepa Hospital could serve as a partner for bilateral academic exchange, public health education, staff training, and community health initiatives.
Through strong partnerships and continued investment in healthcare, ArcelorMittal Liberia remains committed to delivering quality health services to its workforce and host communities.
