Prevention is Better Than Cure
Empowering our community with knowledge, vaccinations, and health screenings to prevent disease before it starts. Together, we're building a healthier Paynesville.
In Liberia, many illnesses and deaths can be prevented through simple measures—immunizations, early screenings, health education, and community awareness. At Gerlib Health Center, we're committed to stopping disease before it starts.

Reduction in malaria through prevention programs
Community members educated monthly
Preventing illness is far more affordable than treating it. Vaccinations and screenings cost a fraction of hospitalization and emergency care.
Early detection of conditions like hypertension, diabetes, and cancer dramatically improves treatment success and survival rates.
Healthy communities thrive. When individuals are healthy, families prosper, children attend school, and the economy grows.
From immunizations to health screenings, our preventive programs are designed to keep you and your family healthy
Our comprehensive immunization program protects children and adults against life-threatening diseases. We follow WHO and Liberian national immunization schedules to ensure complete protection.
