Liberia: Cellcom Opens New Doors for Medical Students

Furthering its commitment to improving the health care sector in Liberia, the company named by the National Excellence Award as Liberia's best GSM Company has made a donation of free wireless internet to students of the A.M Dolgietee School of Medicine. The donation, which is the first of its kind for the medical school, is expected to improve the ability of Liberia's medical students to do research and connect with the rest of the world.

Making the donation at programs marking the official induction ceremony for the Medical Students Association, Cellcom's Chief Corporate Communications Strategist, Dr. Kimmie Weeks, said he was impressed that the entire first year medical class were comprised of young people. "It truly warms my heart to see a class full of so many brilliant young faces. I know that the future of Liberia's health care sector is secure," Kimmie Weeks said amongst applause. Weeks went on to say that when Cellcom had heard that the medical school had no access to internet, they immediately made the decision to provide free internet to the students. "It was not acceptable that our medical students did not have access to internet and when we heard that we immediately decided to act."
