Wellbody Alliance<\/span><\/a>. Dr. Kelly founded Wellbody Alliance in 2006 and has worked closely with UNICEF and St. John of God Catholic Hospital. After two years of moving throughout the country in Sierra Leone, Dan transformed Wellbody Alliance into a stationary, primary care provider for the Kono District – the epicenter of Sierra Leone\u2019s civil war and one of the poorest regions in West Africa. At the time Dr. Kelly settled in Kono, only four doctors were servicing a population of 400,000 people. Wellbody Alliance was originally founded to serve amputees and civilians wounded during the war, but within two years the organization was servicing the entire population of Kono District and providing healthcare to up to 20,000 patients a year.<\/span><\/p>\n\n
Currently, the Wellbody clinic provides radiology, HIV testing, primary care, diagnosis and treatment of tropical diseases, chronic illnesses and acute conditions. It is the only facility to offer ultrasound, electrocardiogram and oxygen services in the Kono District.<\/span><\/p>\n\n
Wellbody also manages a corps of community health workers who link communities to clinics in the most remote regions of Africa. The health workers provide psychosocial support, education and first-line care to HIV patients, pregnant women and children. This network has created a referral system that tracks patients from diagnosis to their treatment.<\/span><\/p>\n\n
