Who are we?

We are a global organization with volunteers and dedicated teams of experienced engineers, doctors, nurses, disaster responders, managers, and more, who work tirelessly to ensure Humanity First delivers maximum value on the ground from the donations you make to our beneficiaries.

Masroor Centre for Healthcare

In recent years, Humanity First has been constructing a new hospital in Yopougon-Gesco, just outside the city of Abidjan in southern Ivory Coast. The hospital will feature an Emergency Department, 3 Maternity suites, Neonatal care, an Intensive Care Unit and 2 Operating Theatres. There will be a full diagnostic suite including X-Ray, Ultrasound, Endoscopy and ECG, as well as support services including a Laboratory, Pharmacy, Mortuary, Kitchen and Laundry.

The main structure was completed a year ago, and since then, the team on the ground has been working on the internal fit-out. Infection control flooring has been installed as well as doors and basic infrastructure. Furniture has been ordered.

We need help from our donors in the next 3 months so that we can do the medical gas infrastructure and then install the medical equipment later in 2024.

Please donate urgently for us to keep up the pace of the project.

Why Building a Hospital in Ivory Coast?

Ivory Coast, Home to 28 million people, has overcome 2 civil wars and rebuilt its economy during the last 10 years, but its healthcare system remains in crisis.

With one of the highest mortality rates in the region.

The infant mortality rate is 52.4 deaths per 1,000 live births.
Your support could help save countless lives.
