Prioritising preventive care, person-centered health from preconception to old age, and collaborating with committed partners who align with the Ministry's mission to build a resilient and responsive healthcare system, providing comprehensive and equitable healthcare services to all people in Sierra Leone.
Universal Health Coverage
The Ministry of Health aspires to provide every citizen with access to affordable, high-quality healthcare services and ensure their health security. To achieve this, the Ministry is working towards implementing Universal Healthcare Coverage, hand in hand with our pioneering life stages approach integrated into our public health system.
Improved Maternal and Child Health Care
The Ministry of Health have achieved a remarkable 38% reduction in the maternal mortality rate, bringing it down to 443 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births from the initial 717 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births. The Ministry of Health is now on a mission to drive this number even lower, aiming for under 300 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births by 2025-2026. The Ministry are fully committed to collaborating with partners who share our determination to make this reduction in maternal mortality a reality for Sierra Leone.

Community testing, disease surveillance, and public health interventions are central pillars of our healthcare system. We welcome the collaboration of dedicated partners who share our mission to diminish the burden of communicable and non-communicable diseases throughout Sierra Leone.
Digital Health and Health Information Management Systems
The Ministry of Health's strategy is to digitize services, connect them to support integration, and, through these foundations, facilitate service transformation. At the forefront of our digitisation vision is the Digital Health Roadmap, which outlines several success measures for successful implementation. The Ministry of Health is actively pursuing digital transformation in Sierra Leone. To overcome the barriers associated with investing in digital health technologies, medical products, and infrastructure, we welcome collaboration with innovators, partners, and investors to support the Ministry of Health's digital transformation roadmap.

End of Year Healthcare Reflection Video

The Health sector in Sierra Leone is on a transformative journey; one that is centered around the innovative “life stages approach.” This concept prioritizes the human being as the center of focus in service provision; tailoring care across all stages of life. Through the leadership of Dr. Austin Demby as Minister of Health, the sector has evolved enormously–from a place of despair, to a place of healing and hope. The last couple of years, for example, have witnessed an unprecedented growth—from massive investments in healthcare infrastructure; including the construction of new hospitals, to the electrification of facilities using renewable energy, and from the procurement of high-end medical equipment and drugs, to the training of fit-for-purpose staff–the improvement is very evident.

This video highlights some of the significant investments underlining the current growth in the country’s health sector.
