The MEPS Trust Well Woman Clinic annual Fundraising luncheon was held on Sunday 15th April 2012 at the Atlantic Restaurant, Lumley beach. The objective was to raise funds for the clinics Prenatal Equipment Project (PREP). In a bid to reduce the maternal and neonatal mortality rate in the country, the project aims to provide two free ultrasound examinations for a minimum of 1000 underprivileged women annually during their pregnancy. This further compliments the aim of the government of Sierra Leone in meeting the health needs of the people especially women and children. The ultrasound detects complications and women are immediately referred to experts for management of their pregnancies.

What is Inflammatory Breast Cancer (IBC)?
IBC is the most aggressive form of breast cancer and has a faster doubling time than other breast cancers. (Doubling time is the time it takes for cancer cells to divide and grow.) IBC usually grows in nests or sheets in the breast rather than a solid tumor.
