History[edit]
The hospital was named after Princess Christian of Schleswig-Holstein, a member of the British royal family. It was founded to provide specialized care for women during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period.
Services[edit]
PCMH offers a range of services including prenatal care, obstetrics, gynecology, and neonatal care. The hospital is equipped to handle both routine and complex pregnancies and is a key facility for maternal health in Sierra Leone.
Challenges[edit]
Like many healthcare facilities in Sierra Leone, PCMH faces challenges such as limited resources, inadequate staffing, and the need for improved infrastructure. Efforts are ongoing to enhance the quality of care and expand the hospital's capacity to serve the growing population.
