FREETOWN — A 37-year-old healthcare worker with the Western Area Rural District Health Management Team is appealing to the public for support to raise approximately US$15,000 for specialised orthopaedic surgery in India.
Mohamed F. Kamara was injured on July 16, 2026, while on official duty collecting drugs for HIV/AIDS patients when he was involved in a motor vehicle accident.
He was rushed to the Emergency Hospital at Goderich, where he received treatment and remained under observation before being discharged.
However, follow-up investigations revealed the full extent of his injuries. A CT scan showed multiple complex fractures to his pelvic ring and right hip, including fractures to the superior and inferior pubic rami, right acetabulum, right iliac crest and the posterior portion of the right acetabulum.
After his discharge from Goderich, Kamara was assessed at New Hope Hospital by Dr. Nabieu, who recommended that he seek specialised orthopaedic treatment abroad.
A separate assessment was subsequently conducted by orthopaedic surgeon Dr. Rady at Freetown International Hospital, who also advised that surgical intervention was required.
These assessments have reinforced the urgent need for Kamara to obtain specialist orthopaedic care to address the injuries sustained in the accident.
Kamara’s medical records were also reviewed by Dr. Ashok Raju Gottemukkala, Clinical Director and Senior Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon at CARE Hospitals in Hyderabad, India, who confirmed the need for advanced treatment.
Kamara said he is now appealing for public assistance to meet the cost of the surgery and travel, so he can regain mobility and return to serving his community.
