President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf has welcomed the British Government's decision to provide 2 million pounds (4 million United States dollars) to assist Liberia's health sector.
The Liberian leader made the commendation today at the Foreign Ministry, when she met a Representative of the British Department for International Development (DFID), Mr. Desmond Curran. Mr. Curran was accompanied by Health and Social Welfare Minister Dr. Walter Gwenigale.
The President recounted the fruitful talks she had with Prime Minister Gordon Brown during her recent visit to Great Britain, adding that he affirmed his government's support towards the country's national recovery. She observed that if Liberia's goal of becoming a post-conflict success story is to be realised, such partnerships like the British-Liberia relations would be crucial.
For his part, Mr. Curran expressed his government's pleasure in joining Liberia's path towards national recovery. He confirmed DFID's contribution of 4 million pounds (6 million United States dollars) over the next two years to the pooled fund for the implementation of the Government of Liberia's national health plan.
