🎓✨As we celebrate this new milestone for our Community Health Nurses, we share with you this short clip to inspire you with what they have achieved through their dedication and desire to serve rural communities in The Gambia.

“HSSP (Healthcare Support and Strategy Project) has been very vital and supportive in many ways. It has reduced financial burdens in terms of school fees and students’ vocational materials…. It has allowed me to focus on my education and to be inculcated with the right nursing skills and knowledge that I will use to go out to people in the most remote parts of this country to offer them the most needed primary health care services.”
