Pennsylvania, USA:- The First Lady of Liberia Madam Kartumu Y. Boakai has called on international partners, builders, and believers to join hands in turning her vision of a healthier, more resilient Liberia into reality.
Speaking passionately at a high-level engagement, she highlighted alarming maternal and child mortality rates, underscoring the urgency of action despite ongoing efforts in the health sector.
“The challenges are enormous, and while progress has been made, far too many mothers and children are still being lost,” the First Lady said. “This is why partnership is not an option—it is a necessity. I did not come tonight only to tell Liberia’s story. I came to ask you to become part of it.” She added.
She emphasized the importance of building strategic alliances with institutions like the Mollie Woods Hare Global Center of Excellence, noting that collaboration is the key to scaling life-saving solutions.
