LIBERIA MEDICAL AND DENTAL COUNCIL (LMDC)
HEALTHCARE REGULATION IS EVERYONE'S RESPONSIBILITY

A Message to the Public and All Medical Healthcare Providers in Liberia

The Liberia Medical and Dental Council (LMDC) reminds the public and all medical and dental practitioners that quality healthcare begins with proper regulation, professional accountability, ethical conduct, and respect for the law.
The LMDC is Liberia's statutory health regulatory authority responsible for regulating the practice of medicine, dentistry, and other health professions within its mandate. Our responsibility is to help ensure that healthcare professionals are properly qualified, licensed, accountable, and practicing within established professional and ethical standards.

Regulatory assessment is not an attack on your facility or your professional reputation. It is an important mechanism for identifying gaps, promoting compliance, strengthening patient safety, and improving the quality of healthcare services delivered to the Liberian people.

To do this, the Liberia Medical and Dental Council - LMDC calls on all healthcare facility owners to
RESPECT. COOPERATE. COMPLY and give professional cooperation to our Clinical Assessment Team while carrying out regulatory assessments in your area.
When our Clinical Assessment Team visits your facility, they are officially representing the LMDC and carrying out the Council's regulatory mandate. They must therefore be received with the appropriate courtesy and given the cooperation, information, access, and support required to conduct a fair and effective assessment.
We urge all facility owners, administrators, doctors, nurses, and other healthcare workers to:
✅ Receive the assessment team respectfully and professionally.
✅ Provide reasonable access to relevant areas, records, documents, and information required for the assessment.
✅ Answer questions truthfully and provide accurate information.
✅ Cooperate with the assessment process and avoid unnecessary obstruction or interference.
✅ Respect the authority and professional role of every member of the assessment team.
LET US WORK TOGETHER FOR BETTER HEALTHCARE.
Your cooperation with the Clinical Assessment Team helps the LMDC understand the realities within healthcare facilities, identify areas requiring improvement, and promote compliance with established professional and regulatory standards.
Respect the Team.
Cooperate with the Assessment.
Comply with the Regulations.
Protect the Patient.
LMDC
Regulating Healthcare. Protecting the Public. Upholding Professional Standards.
Together, let us build a safer, more accountable, and higher-quality healthcare system for Liberia.

LMDC, PBL Forward Two Suspects to LNP Headquarters Over Alleged Medical Malpractice

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PAYNESVILLE, LIBERIA — August 21, 2026: The Liberia Medical and Dental Council (LMDC), in collaboration with the Pharmacy Board of Liberia (PBL) and the Ministry of Justice, have forwarded a 58-year-old man, Wilson Sumo, and his 20-year-old alleged accomplice, Johnson T. Baryo, to the Headquarters of the Liberia National Police (LNP) for further investigation into an alleged case of medical malpractice.

The two men were arrested on Thursday afternoon, August 20, 2026, by the LMDC Clinical Assessment Team, with support from the Ministry of Justice through two police officers.

Their arrest follows an alleged medical malpractice incident that reportedly resulted in the death of 20-year-old Princess Dupee in the Barshell Community, Paynesville Red Light, on Tuesday, August 18, 2026.

According to Wilson Sumo, who claims to be a nurse aide since 2010, Princess Dupee was brought to his drugstore on Tuesday by her fiancé, Janjay Logan, and two other women.
Sumo said the group reported that Princess was experiencing fever and severe weakness.

He claimed that he initially checked her vital signs, but the equipment repeatedly displayed an error. He noted that, in an attempt to reduce her fever, he administered paracetamol and folic acid before starting an intravenous drip of Ringer's Lactate (RL) to stabilize her condition.

According to Sumo, however, Princess did not respond positively to the treatment. He alleged that the IV line repeatedly failed and that he subsequently advised her relatives to take her to a larger health facility for further medical attention.

Sumo further claimed, while Princess was being taken from the treatment room, he noticed that she was bleeding. But few minutes after their departure from his drugs store to another clinic, he later learned that she had been pronounced dead at another healthcare facility, whose identity was not disclosed.

Johnson T. Baryo, whom authorities identified as Sumo's alleged accomplice, denied administering treatment to Princess.
Baryo said he had recently come for vacation and was at his father's drugstore when the patient arrived. He explained that he was sent on an errand and, upon his return, the treatment had already been conducted by his father.

Meanwhile, on the other hands, Johnson T. Baryo was on Thursday seen upon the arrival of LMDC's clinical team checking the vita signs of another patient despite not having any medical knowledge.

For his part, the deceased's fiancé, Janjay Logan, said Princess had not complained of any health problems prior to Tuesday, August 18.
He also stated that he was unaware of any pregnancy or other medical condition involving his fiancée before she was taken to Sumo's drugstore, a facility where he said members of the community, including himself, had routinely sought treatment and medical services.

During the arrest, however, some community members accused Janjay Logan of having knowledge of circumstances surrounding Princess's death and called on him to cooperate fully with the investigation.

Some residents further alleged that Logan knows
about an attempted abortion involving Princess, which they claimed could have contributed to her deteriorating condition. These allegations have not been independently verified and remain subject to investigation.

Meanwhile, the Liberia Medical and Dental Council and the Pharmacy Board of Liberia have separately admonished members of the public experiencing serious health conditions to seek treatment at properly licensed and accredited healthcare facilities where qualified healthcare professionals are available.

The regulatory authorities also warned individuals against administering medical treatment from drugstores or pharmacies without the appropriate professional authorization.
According to the LMDC and PBL, drugstores and pharmacies are primarily intended for the dispensing and sale of prescribed medicines and related pharmaceutical services, and are not substitutes for properly equipped healthcare facilities where patients can receive diagnosis, treatment, monitoring, and emergency care.

The authorities stressed that anyone found unlawfully administering medical treatment or practicing outside the scope of their professional authorization will be subject to the full extent of the law.

The LMDC, PBL, and Ministry of Justice have turned the two suspects over to the Liberia National Police for further investigation. The authorities emphasized that the investigation remains ongoing and that all allegations will be subjected to due process.

The public is therefore urged to allow the competent authorities to conduct a thorough investigation and refrain from drawing conclusions before the facts are fully established.

Government of Liberia, Through Ministry of Health, Conducts Three-Day Health Sector Budget Preparation Meeting:

MONROVIA, LIBERIA — August 13, 2026:

The Government of Liberia, through the Ministry of Health (MOH), in collaboration with the Ministry of Finance and Development Planning (MFDP), has commenced a three-day Health Sector Budget Preparation Meeting aimed at ensuring that Liberia’s healthcare priorities are adequately reflected in the Fiscal Year 2027 National Budget and aligned with the Government’s Arrest Agenda for Inclusive Development (AAID).

The meeting, which runs from August 12–14, 2026, brings together senior government officials, technical experts, and representatives from key institutions across Liberia’s health sector to review priorities, identify critical interventions, and develop a realistic and coordinated health-sector budget for Fiscal Year 2027.

Participants include representatives from the Ministry of Health, Ministry of Finance and Development Planning, National Public Health Institute of Liberia (NPHIL), Liberia Medicines and Health Products Regulatory Authority (LMHRA), Liberia Medicines and Health Products Agency (LMDA), John F. Kennedy Medical Center, Phebe Hospital, Liberia College of Physicians and Surgeons, Liberia National Medical Board, and other key health-sector institutions.

During the opening session, Health Minister Dr. Louise M. Kpoto urged technical officials to develop a focused, realistic, and evidence-based health-sector agenda that responds to the priority needs of Liberians while supporting the Government’s broader development objectives.

“We must present a realistic and evidence-based document that is void of duplication. Its timeline must be clear. We should not initiate projects that we know the funds are not available for,” Dr. Kpoto said.

The Minister emphasized the importance of prioritizing programs and projects that can be realistically financed and implemented, while reducing duplication and strengthening coordination among institutions within the health sector.

Speaking on behalf of the Ministry of Finance and Development Planning, Jimmy W. C. Bokay, Director for Regional and Sectoral Planning, said the engagement is intended to promote a coordinated, inclusive, and participatory approach to the national budget preparation process.

He noted that the exercise will help ensure that the priorities identified by health-sector institutions are properly incorporated into the Government’s broader fiscal planning framework.

“From our data, the health sector is doing well, and we are grateful for the coordination that has yielded this result,” Bokay said.

The three-day budget preparation exercise comes as the Government of Liberia continues efforts to strengthen the national health system, improve healthcare service delivery, and ensure that limited public resources are strategically directed toward programs and interventions considered critical to the health and well-being of the Liberian people.

The meeting is expected to conclude on Friday, August 14, 2026, with participating institutions expected to finalize and prioritize key budgetary needs and interventions for consideration in the Fiscal Year 2027 National Budget.
