Healthy nation, prosperous nation ❤️🇱🇷💪🏾

A nation is only as strong as its health system. Yet year after year, domestic health financing remains low .

We must move from promises to action. Health must be seen as an investment, not just an expense.

The government has started the development of new budget for 2026 , Tell your leaders/ law makers to ensure health is prioritize in the budget by the Executive. Let them put more money in the budget to : Fund health systems- make our clinics , health centers and hospitals to have the medicines and supplies they need to make their services to us better .

Because a strong health system means a hopeful future for every Liberian.
