14 Military Hospital is a military medical facility operated by the Armed Forces of Liberia (AFL), located in Schefflin, Margibi County, near Monrovia. The hospital is situated within the Edward Binyah Kesselly (EBK) Barracks complex along the Robertsfield Highway (RIA Highway). The hospital has a reported capacity of approximately 150 beds.[1]
It serves as the principal healthcare facility for members of the AFL and also provides medical services to civilian populations.
History
The construction of the 14 Military Hospital was announced in 2018, with a groundbreaking ceremony held on 26 March 2018.[2] The project formed part of broader efforts to rebuild Liberia's military and public health infrastructure following years of civil conflict.
The hospital was officially dedicated on 1 September 2021 and described as Liberia's first modern military hospital.[1][3] By 2025, local media described it as Liberia's first post-war specialized military healthcare facility.[4]
Operations and services
The hospital provides a range of services including emergency care, surgical services, maternal and child health, and diagnostic support. Although primarily intended for military personnel, it also serves civilians and functions as part of Liberia's broader healthcare system.
The facility has played a role in national emergency response. According to the U.S. National Guard, hospital staff treated critically burned patients following the December 2023 fuel tanker explosion in Bong County.[3]
In November 2024, the Armed Forces of Liberia, in partnership with the United States government, unveiled a tuberculosis clinic at the hospital following renovations valued at approximately $18,000.[5]
The hospital has also benefited from international support and cooperation. The United States government has provided medical equipment, including endoscopic systems, to enhance surgical capacity.[6] In addition, the Ministry of National Defense has announced plans for expanded laboratory facilities with support from international partners.[7]
The hospital also participates in international military cooperation activities, including engagements involving the Michigan National Guard and partner nations under the U.S. State Partnership Program.[3]
