Despite devastating conflict and crisis, Sierra Leone has made strong gains for children on almost all indicators since — child mortality, stunting, child labor, child marriage and teen births — even displacement and child homicides. Thanks to you, we reached over 2,, children in Sierra Leone last year. In , we were one of the few global nonprofits to remain in the country during the height of the Ebola crisis , supporting infection prevention and control, providing supplies, training and treatment as well as contact tracing, public awareness-raising, community mobilization, child registration, and family tracing and reunification.

MSF targets children under the age of five, pregnant women, and lactating mothers, providing general health care and coordinating emergency referrals for specialist care.
Please donate to support our work in Sierra Leone and other countries around the world now. Our mother and child health care program in Tonkolili continues to support Magburaka district hospital and eight peripheral health care units, with improvements to infection prevention and control measures and water and sanitation systems, donations of drugs and staff training. As well as assisting with referrals from the health care units, we offered family planning sessions, psychosocial support, and medical treatment to victims of sexual and gender-based violence.
In , we provided logistical support to the Ministry of Health and Sanitation in Kambia district during a measles outbreak. Our teams also assisted with the catch-up measles and rubella vaccination campaigns in Kenema and Tonkolili districts by donating medical supplies, organizing transport and safe waste management, and running awareness-raising and health promotion activities. Additionally, we helped manage Lassa fever cases in November, by sharing clinical protocols and guidelines, donating infection prevention and control materials, and medical supplies to Kenema and Tonkolili districts and deploying ambulances to transport suspected and confirmed cases.
The professional development of national health workers is a top priority for MSF. On December 18, the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Ghana inducted 47 Sierra Leonean registered nurses and midwives following their successful completion of a two-year MSF-sponsored Registered Diploma training course. The team will be deployed to work in our hospital in Hangha and other health facilities around the country.
