The Liberia Medical and Dental Council (LMDC) has ordered the immediate closure of the Golden Veroleum Liberia (GVL) Clinics in Butaw, Tarjouwon and Kpanyan Districts for multiple violations of national health standards.
According to an official LMDC statement, the facility was found to be severely understaffed and operating in a building that does not meet the required medical infrastructure standards.
The council also cited the clinic’s refusal to comply with earlier instructions issued by the regulatory body.
Additional findings revealed poor hygiene, lack of sanitation, and no proper waste management system in place.
The council noted that the facility was neither clean nor tidy, posing serious health risks to patients and staff.
As a result of these infractions, the LMDC has imposed a fine of $15,000 USD on the company for each of the clinics.
The council further warned that any staff found working at the clinic as of June 18, 2025, will face the full weight of the law.
The LMDC has urged all healthcare institutions to adhere strictly to national standards and ensure that the health and safety of patients remain a top priority.
Meanwhile, GVL management has promised to respond to the situation.
