History
Benson Hospital is located on Duport Road, Paynesville, in the “Commonwealth Health District “of Montserrado County. It started as a felt-need Community Clinic in 1994. It grew into a Hospital in 2002 meeting all the Ministry of Health’s Hospital criteria. The Hospital was managed as a field Hospital by Medicenes Sans Frontiers (MSF) during the civil conflict in Liberia providing Medical and Obstetrics services free of charge from 2003 to 2010. When MSF phased out, it was turned back to the Benson family and we have been supporting it without any Government subsidy from 2010 to date.
Services we offer:
Outpatient Services for Liberia endemic diseases of Malaria, diarrhea, ARI, Typhoid and Intestinal parasites. It provides antenatal care, normal deliveries, perinatal and post-natal care, child care, immunization services, health education, general surgery services and gynecological surgery.
