As the leading private medical clinic providing full-service medical and trauma assistance, remote medical support with a fully licensed and certified General Practice/Paediatric Clinic, AMISL offers comprehensive primary care services, emergency care, laboratory facilities, and is fully integrated with AMI’s aero-medical evacuation (AME) network in West Africa. The clinic is now accepting patients and clients and open to the general public. 

The Thinking Pink Breast Cancer Foundation is dedicated to raising awareness of Breast Cancer in Sierra Leone. They believe, “Cancer should not be a death sentence because of geography,” and plan to try their best to raise awareness. The Foundation plans on helping secondary schools, deprived communities and marketplaces because they believe these to be the most affected groups.
