Church Aid Delivers 7th Hearing Screening Equipment To Redemption Hospital

MONROVIA, LIBERIA — Church Aid Inc. (CAI) has delivered its seventh hearing screening equipment to Redemption Hospital in Montserrado County, marking another step in efforts to expand access to specialized ear and hearing healthcare in Liberia.

The equipment was formally delivered on Friday, October 3, 2026, by Church Aid Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Bishop Kortu K. Brown and his team on behalf of the relief agency. The donation forms part of Church Aid’s Ear and Hearing Care (EHC) program, which is being implemented in collaboration with Rotary Club International in the United States.

Bishop Brown said the latest donation is intended to strengthen the capacity of healthcare providers to identify and respond to ear and hearing-related conditions, particularly through improved screening and early detection. He said the equipment will contribute to expanding access to advanced hearing screening services for residents in Montserrado, Bomi, Margibi, Grand Bassa, Bong and Lofa Counties.

According to Bishop Brown, the achievement represents the completion of the first phase of an initiative that required more than two years of planning, proposal development, fundraising, procurement and delivery. He disclosed that the equipment was purchased from Italy before being brought to Liberia for use in the country’s healthcare system.

He described the completion of the first phase as a major accomplishment for the initiative while recognizing the contribution of the local and international partners involved in making the program possible.

The delivery to Redemption Hospital also places the institution within a growing network of Liberian health facilities benefiting from Church Aid’s effort to improve access to hearing-related healthcare.

The initiative comes against the backdrop of continuing challenges faced by Liberia’s public healthcare system in providing specialized diagnostic services. Hearing conditions can require equipment capable of detecting problems that may not be identified through routine medical examinations, making access to appropriate screening an important part of early intervention.

The Church Aid program has also reached Grand Bassa County, where hearing screening equipment was previously donated to the Liberia Government Hospital in Buchanan. That donation expanded access to ear and hearing services in the county and added another location to the initiative’s growing footprint.

Bishop Brown said the Buchanan donation was part of the same broader effort to increase the availability of hearing healthcare outside Monrovia. Grand Bassa, like other counties outside the capital, faces the challenge of ensuring that specialized medical services are available closer to communities.

With the delivery of the seventh piece of hearing screening equipment, Church Aid is now positioning its first phase as completed while signaling an intention to pursue additional support for ear and hearing healthcare in Liberia.

Bishop Brown thanked the local and international partners who contributed to the initiative and expressed hope that continued support would help sustain and expand the program.

\n

For Redemption Hospital and the communities it serves, the arrival of the equipment represents an additional resource for healthcare workers dealing with patients experiencing ear and hearing challenges. For the national health system, the donation adds another specialized diagnostic tool at a time when access to equipment remains an important component of strengthening healthcare delivery.

The initiative therefore extends beyond the physical delivery of a medical device. It represents an effort to place specialized screening capacity within Liberia’s healthcare facilities and make hearing-related services more accessible to patients who might otherwise have limited access to appropriate diagnostic care.

Bishop Brown said the completion of the first phase is a “Mission Accomplished,” while looking ahead to the possibility of further assistance to strengthen the program.
