Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un (Indeed, to Allah we belong and to Him we shall return).

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Mr. Lamin Jaiteh, a dedicated Community Health Nurse (CHN) and former staff of Brufut Health Centre.

Mr. Jaiteh served our community with commitment and compassion for over a decade before his transfer to Brikama District Hospital. He will be remembered for his professionalism, kindness, and tireless service to patients and colleagues alike.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, and colleagues. His legacy of service will continue to inspire us at Brufut Health Centre and beyond.

May his soul rest in eternal peace.
