In a significant stride toward improving rural healthcare delivery in Liberia, Courage Medical & Rehabilitation Center in Gbarnga has announced the commencement of a two-day intensive laboratory training aimed at enhancing the technical capacity of its diagnostic staff.
Scheduled for August 1st and 2nd, the training will focus on hands-on and procedural instruction, equipping laboratory technicians with the skills needed to operate newly acquired diagnostic equipment effectively. A certified medical laboratory specialist will facilitate the program and will cover 30 core laboratory tests essential for quality healthcare delivery.
Mr. Dennis Garsinii, the founder and vision bearer of the facility, emphasized that the initiative is part of a broader strategy to modernize rural medical services. “This training ensures our staff are well-prepared to operate our new state-of-the-art laboratory systems, ultimately improving patient outcomes,” he stated.
One of the key innovations highlighted is the integration of the Butterfly iQ3 Imaging Device. This revolutionary portable ultrasound tool provides real-time, high-resolution imaging at the point of care. When paired with the Center’s advanced lab technology, the Butterfly iQ3 positions the facility as a leading rural diagnostic center in Liberia.
Mr. Garsinii also assured the public that all other clinical services will remain fully operational throughout the training period. He expressed heartfelt gratitude to God and partners for the progress made, especially in securing high-end medical equipment critical to diagnostics and treatment.
At a time when many rural health facilities are constrained by outdated equipment and a lack of trained personnel, Courage Medical & Rehab Center’s investment in both human resources and cutting-edge technology offers renewed hope for healthcare advancement in Bong County and beyond.
