Due to the rapid spread of the Covid-19 within the clinic and the recent loss of a member of staff, Medicare has announced it’s closure with immediate effect.

A formal statement from the clinic assured the public that they will reopen as soon as all safety measures are observed to ensure the safety of their staff members and patients.

Medicare is considered to be one of the best private clinics in The Gambia in terms of quality and reliable health services.

“Due to the recent loss of a beloved member of staff, the health and safety of our staff and patients remain a top priority. Our closure will allow us to complete testing on all staff members and carry out a deep clean of all our facilities in line with national guidance.”

“Staff that have tested positive have been isolated as per national guidelines. Our facility in Westfield has already been disinfected and will resume operations as soon as safely possible. Please note we understand this may be difficult for some of our patients but unfortunately we have to ensure the safety of our staff and the general public in this pandemic.”

“Our team will be in contact with patients regarding booked appointments and procedures to reschedule. Please be patient with us as we try to rebuild a safe environment for us all,” the statement explained.
