Main Clinic and Services
WEC International founded and has run the clinic for the past 50 years. They were very grateful to Evangelical Church of the Gambia (ECG) in taking over the running of the clinic at the beginning of 2018. WEC continues to support the ECG church particularly in helping to recruit expatriate clinical staff (doctors, nurses, laboratory and pharmacy staff).
Services offered by the clinic
Our aim is to meet the needs of the whole Person: body, mind, social and spiritual through outpatient, inpatient and community care. The clinic offers general outpatient services on four days a week plus a 24/7 emergency service. We offer clinics in Non Communicable Disease (including hypertension, diabetes and asthma) and run malnutrition and HIV programmes. Additionally we offer infant welfare and maternity services. We have a small 13 bed ward and two isolation cubicles. We strongly believe in outreach to the local communities and we undertake weekly visits to surrounding villages to screen for hypertension and diabetes. We also carry out home visits to people living with HIV and other chronic diseases.

SIBANOR News NOVEMBER 2024
Dear friends. We entered 2024 with great anticipation about what God would be doing in the clinic during the year. Once more we have experienced His faithfulness and would like to share with you some of the things that have been happening in the clinic.
Community nurse training
The school of CHN (Community Health Nurse) training has finally been started and the first twelve students have completed their first semester of studies and are currently on their first practical attachments in two Government hospitals. The journey from vision to reality has been long and sometimes challenging but the Lord has done it. All glory to God. Special thanks go to the Head of School Christine and her team comprising a tutor (Penda Joy) and an administrator (Paul). We also extend gratitude to senior government officials who have given lectures on the Gambian health system and policies.
