Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>By S. Karweaye<\/p>\n

During his recent tour of Monrovia, Montserrado County, President Weah said \u201d my administration has constructed more health infrastructures than any other government and we will do more for the benefit of our people.\u201d The President\u2019s claim was made during his announcement of plans to construct a new JFK hospital in Monrovia.<\/p>\n

Minister of State for President Affairs, Nathaniel Mcgill before the U.S. Department of the Treasury\u2019s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) designated him on others on their sanction listing and subsequent suspension by President Weah said the past (Sirleaf) government took 12 years to build one hospital which is the Jackson F. Doe Hospital in Tapita, Nimba County, but the Weah\u2019s government has taken four and half years to build three hospitals.<\/p>\n

Fact Check<\/b>

Under President William Tolbert\u2019s \u201cMats to Mattress\u201d, \u201cRally Time\u201d, and \u201cTotal Involvement for Higher Heights, \u201d the Charles Henry Rennie Hospital in Margibi County was constructed (1974) and the majority of the health centers in rural Liberia were constructed. It was under President Tolbert the Liberian Medical Board was established to regulate the practice of medicine.<\/p>\n

Ellen Johnson Sirleaf\u2019s Administration<\/b><\/p>\n
