EWO President, Gloria Hage said the objective is to reach out in providing counseling and other medical services to people of all sectors of the Liberian society.
She disclosed that the training is necessary to prepare their members of the need to support this project and encourage the various women organizations of the LCC of the usage of the walk-in clinic.
Madam Hage added that so far this project is solely supported by the LCC and there is a need for international partners to support the program.
