The Hatfield Archer Memorial Hospital is a hospital in the town Rotifunk, Sierra Leone. It has 52 beds.[1]
The hospital is named for Marietta Hatfield and Mary Archer, two members of a group of five United Brethren in Christ missionaries who were killed at Rotifunk during the Hut Tax War of 1898.[2] The facility was dedicated as the Hatfield-Archer Medical Dispensary in 1906.[3] It was later known as Rotifunk Hospital but was rededicated under its current name in 2014.[1]
