The Kenema Government Hospital (KGH) is located 300km east of Freetown, in Kenema, Eastern Province, Sierra Leone, an area with the highest incidence of Lassa Fever in the world. This region is endemic to an array of tropical diseases including Malaria, Yellow Fever, Tuberculosis, intestinal parasites as well as Lassa Fever. Despite enduring a bloody civil war for over a decade prior to its end in 2002, newfound peace has made it possible to re-establish and expand the biomedical infrastructure, and continue Lassa Fever research in this region.
