CapaCare is a medical humanitarian organisation with a purpose of capacity building and training of medical staff, in areas health workers are too few.

The organisation started in 2008 as Friends of Masanga in Norway, with the aim of rebuilding Masanga Hospital in Tonkolili District in Sierra Leone. In July 2011 we transformed the organisation to CapaCare, and relocated the base to St. Olavs Hospital in Trondheim.

Capacare have in collaboration with the Sierra Leonean Ministry of Health and Sanitation (MOHS) started a postgraduate surgical training program (STP) for Medical Doctors and Community Health Officers. The duration of the program is planned for 2011 to 2016.

CapaCare continues to raise money to the Surgical Training Program in Sierra Leone. If you want to make a donation, you will find more information here.
