He noted that people have often been forced to travel long distances for treatment, frequently under difficult conditions.
“The new clinic will help close that gap by bringing essential healthcare services closer to our people,” Senator Snowe said. “This project is about making healthcare accessible. No community should be deprived of basic medical attention because of its location.”
He revealed that construction will commence immediately and is expected to be completed within a short timeframe. Importantly, Senator Snowe emphasized that the clinic is being funded entirely from his personal resources, not government funds, as a way of giving back to the people of Bomi County.
“I chose to celebrate my birthday by investing in the health and well-being of the people who entrusted me with leadership,” he added.
Residents of Weajor and neighboring towns welcomed the initiative, describing it as a timely and practical solution to the healthcare difficulties they have faced for years.
Local leaders also commended the Senator for undertaking what they called a people-centered, impactful project, expressing optimism that the clinic will bring lasting improvements to healthcare delivery in the district.
Once completed, the facility is expected to serve Weajor Town and surrounding communities, easing the pressure on distant health centers and improving public health outcomes across Dewein District.
