On Universal Health Coverage Day, Sierra Leone reaffirmed its commitment to stronger, more equitable health systems.

WHO is proud to accompany the Ministry of Health and Moyamba District in accelerating evidence-based public health interventions with strong accountability and stewardship from all partners. This milestone underscores collective commitment toward achieving Universal Health Coverage in Sierra Leone.

Sierra Leone is stepping into 2026–2027 with stronger Resource Mobilization capacity!

From 1–3 December 2025, WHO’s External Relations, Partnership, and Governing Bodies led a Resource Mobilisation Masterclass in Freetown, bringing together WHO Sierra Leone and Ministry of Health teams.
Participants developed five costed, results-driven proposals aligned with donor priorities - building stronger partnerships, enhancing visibility, ensuring Framework of Engagement with Non-state actors (FENSA) compliance, and promoting innovative donor engagement.
This work positions Sierra Leone to turn ideas into impact and secure sustainable health financing solutions for the years ahead.

In commemoration of World AIDS Day, held under the theme “End AIDS by 2030 - Keep the Promise,” the WHO Country Representative joined the Minister of Health, Dr. Austin Demby, PhD, MPH, the Chief Medical Officer, senior Ministry of Health officials, the National AIDS Secretariat, sister UN agencies, health partners, and over 500 participants - including nurses, army officers, and school children - at the Waterloo Community Health Center in the Western Area Rural District.

The commemoration featured a vibrant march-past and meaningful discussions on progress, challenges, and renewed commitments toward ending HIV/AIDS in Sierra Leone.

The event also marked the launch of the Sierra Leone National HIV/AIDS SURGE Operational Plan: Accelerating Progress Toward 95-95-95 and Ending AIDS as a Public Health Threat by 2030, along with the commissioning of a state-of-the-art HIV/AIDS and SRH facility.

We just concluded an engaging and insightful session with journalists, youth groups, private practitioners, professional associations, and regulatory bodies at the Brookfields Hotel in Freetown as we reflected on the growing threat of AMR.

Our discussions captured the vital role of media, youth voices and private sector actors in shaping public awareness and promoting the rational use of antimicrobials. Collaboration is key to tackling this global health threat!

Today, we are reminded of the urgent need to safeguard the medicines that protect us from infections. Antimicrobials - including antibiotics - are powerful tools, but their misuse and overuse are driving resistance, making common infections harder to treat and increasing the risk of illness, disability, and death.

Sierra Leone today hosts the National Round Table for Cervical Cancer Elimination, bringing together the Ministry of Health, World Health Organization African Region, World Health Organization Sierra Leone, UNFPA Sierra Leone, UNICEF Sierra Leone, development partners, and key stakeholders to accelerate action toward the global “90-70-90” targets.

Over the past three years, the country has made significant progress, from introducing the HPV vaccine with high coverage, to expanding cervical cancer screening services to all districts and providing treatment for precancerous lesions. These efforts have strengthened prevention, early detection, and access to care for women across Sierra Leone.

Today’s strategic dialogue provides a crucial platform to review progress, identify gaps, mobilize investments, and reinforce partnerships needed to scale up nationwide prevention, screening, and treatment services.
WHO remains fully committed to supporting the Government of Sierra Leone in eliminating cervical cancer as a public health threat.
