A few pictures from last week in Sierra Leone.

A pharmacy tech counts pills out for TB patients at Wellbody Clinic in Sierra Leone's Kono District.

Dr. Girum Tefera, who saved my friend Henry's life, points to areas of concern in the healthier lung of a person severely ill with TB.

Nurse/midwife (and TIME Woman of the Year) Isata Dumbaya tours us through the Maternal Center of Excellence at Koidu Government Hospital.

Visiting people living with TB and HIV alongside community healthworkers, a reminder that CHWs are the least expensive and most effective healthcare intervention on the planet.

Nurses and midwives are essential leaders in the fight to expand maternal and infant care.

After ten years of dreaming, eight years of government support, six years of fundraising (we needed $50,000,000!), and five years of construction, the Paul Farmer Maternal Center of Excellence at Koidu Government Hospital finally saw its first patients on February 14th.

13 babies were born at the MCOE that day. Several were admitted to the NICU, the first in Sierra Leone's history. The MCOE is already radically transforming the kind of maternal and infant care available in eastern Sierra Leone.

Five thousand babies will be born at the MCOE this year. 5,000 more will be born there next year, and the year after that, and the year after that--hopefully for decades. The healthcare workforce of the entire nation will grow stronger because the MCOE is a teaching hospital training the next generation of Sierra Leonean nurses, midwives, and doctors.

The heroes of this story are those caregivers along with the Ministry of Health, PIH, and the hundreds of skilled laborers who worked together for years to build the hospital despite so many challenges. But if you're supporting this project directly or indirectly (by buying good store socks or soap), thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

i was hanging out with my brother internet sensation hank green tonight, and he was like, "If you spent more time on bluesky you'd be so popular," and i found out he has like 800,000 followers there.

and then i was like, "But I'm on tumblr, which is like the Marines for the Internet. Do you know how fucking dangerous it is there? I am putting my goddamned life in my goddamned hands every time I log in. Bluesky could never."
