Smarter Hospital
The Smarter Hospital Foundation is a non-profit foundation. We believe in a vision to help the people who can not help thereselves. Vision without action is merely a dream. Action without vision just passes the time. Vision with action can change the world. There are several ways to donate to the Smarter Hospital Foundation and support us in realizing our vision.
We started our foundation in May 2011 as a joint initiative between friendly doctors and IBM employees with the goal to support hospitals and students in Sierra Leone with a focus on Yele and Makeni, two towns in the heart of Sierra Leone.
