"My Level Best"

Sierra Leone Psychiatric Teaching Hospital has come a long way over the years--and that transformation has been both structural and personal. We speak with Annieru Braima, head nurse; Julianna Showers, mental health nurse; and Alpha Sesay, infrastructure lead for Partners In Health, to learn about how the hospital has grown from an impoverished, under-resourced facility into a dignified hospital providing quality mental health care to patients. Because renovation is about much more than improving a building—it can mark the start of a new era, for patients, communities, and a country.
