Shipment Date: 9/26/2003

This shipment of the antibiotic Augmentin was airfreighted to Direct Relief's long time partner, the Ndegbormei Development Organization. Medical facilities throughout Sierra Leone suffer from a severe shortage of medical goods, especially essential medications needed to treat a variety of potentially life-threatening infections.

The Ndegbormei Development Organization supports a number of health facilities and projects with Direct Relief-donated material aid and was extremely pleased to be able to receive and distribute a large supply of this wide-spectrum anti-infective agent.
