Sierra Leone Launches Exciting New Healthcare Initiative to Bring Services Closer to the People
Date : 26 March 2025
Venue : Freetown, Sierra Leone
An exciting new initiative-the District Spotlight–which aims to make healthcare more accessible, reliable, and effective for all Sierra Leoneans, has been launched in Moyamba district by the Minister of Health. This initiative will popularize the “Life Stages Approach,” a concept designed to give people medical care tailored to their specific needs at different points in life. This district spotlight, also known as the “Nationwide Health Train Campaign 2025” will see to it that services are delivered in an integrated and structured manner.
The health train, which is currently in Moyamba as the pilot district, will go round to all the sixteen disrtricts of the country, spending a month in each location, assessing available health services, diagnosing challenges and profering solutions as well as using the hospital on wheels buses to provide on-the-spot medical services to people who need them.
