Masanga Hospital or Masanga Leprosy Hospital is a hospital that currently provides healthcare in paediatrics, maternity, general medicine and surgery. It is located in Tonkolili district, Northern Province, Sierra Leone. The hospital was ransacked and used as a rebel stronghold during the Sierra Leone Civil War, but having reopened in 2006 it is now a functioning rural hospital once more. The hospital is run by a partnership between several European charitable organisations: MasangaUK, Sierra Leonean Adventists Abroad (SLAA) and Associated Friends of Masanga (AFOM). Though in the long-term the hospital aims to be government-funded, it currently subsides on charitable donations. Free healthcare is offered to under fives and pregnant women, and also to locals of limited means.
