In 2025, we supported four general health care facilities in Kenema district by donating medical supplies, rehabilitating infrastructure, and training Ministry of Health medical staff. In addition, we sent mobile teams to remote communities with few health facilities in the district to deliver vital services such as rapid malaria testing and treatment, vaccinations for children under 5 years old, family planning consultations, and prenatal care.
We also responded to an mpox outbreak in 2025, establishing a 50-bed treatment center and rehabilitating the national referral hospital’s isolation ward in the capital, Freetown. In Bombali and Tonkolili districts, Northern province, our team assisted with health promotion activities and contact tracing and provided supplies and training to the Ministry of Health.
In July that year, we concluded our TB-related activities in Bombali district, where we had been working to improve access to diagnosis and treatment for both drug-sensitive and drug-resistant TB since 2019. During this time, we provided treatment for adults and children, as well as prevention therapy and support for the rollout of a shorter treatment regimen for drug-resistant TB. We also introduced tools to strengthen the diagnosis of pediatric TB.
In August and September, respectively, we concluded our activities in Magburaka and Mile 91 township, including surrounding communities in Tonkolili district. For nine years, we reduced maternal and child deaths in the district by supporting general health care facilities with medical supplies and infrastructure rehabilitation, drilling boreholes, and facilitating referrals for specialist care. Our support also included care for pregnant women, lactating mothers, and children under 5 years old at the Magburaka government hospital and the Hinistas community health center in Mile 91 town.
