“@MercyShips and #GoVSL are mutually aligned and the outcome of this alignment is seen in the number of patients benefiting from the relationship.” @DembyAustin spoke yesterday during a courtesy call by the CEO of the largest hospital ship, The Global Mercy.

The @usgov, through its @USEmbFreetown, commits over $USD 129 million to the #GoVSL to support the delivery of measurable and sustainable health outcomes nationwide. The #MOU was signed today by @DembyAustin for the #GoVSL, signaling a massive boost for the people of #SierraLeone

Government Declares Mpox Over In Sierra Leone
Today is an incredibly proud and exciting moment for the people of Sierra Leone as the #GoVSL Austin Demby, PhD, MPH MPH and the National Public Health Agency just declared the #Mpox outbreak over. This breaking news follows the World Health Organization’s accepted public health standards of a nation going for more than forty-two days without recording a new case anywhere in the country.
As of today, 15th December 2025, all sixteen districts in Sierra Leone have exceeded this threshold, with several already going over one hundred and fifty days without registering a single case.
When Mpox was first detected in Sierra Leone, in January this year, the outbreak was immediately declared a Public Health Emergency by the Minister of Health, Dr. Austin Demby.
Since then, the country recorded 5,442 confirmed cases, with 5,382 recoveries, which represents a 99 percent recovery and survival rate. Most impressively, only 1.1 percent case fatality rate was recorded.
This achievement was made possible not just by the dedication and sacrifice of medical staff, Ministry of Health and NPHA, but this massive success is truly reflective of a national response.
This is not luck, the Minister said. He went on, “this is leadership. This is systems at work.”
Throughout the course of the outbreak, the Ministry of Health, through from its partners, vaccinated over 186,000 people, prioritizing healthcare workers and the most vulnerable. Over 22,500 contacts were traced and monitored and the country expanded laboratory capacity to nine testing sites nationwide. Through the NPHA, Sierra Leone has taken public health to every doorstep with a whole-of-government and whole-of-society approach.
Today’s announcement coincided with the celebration of the second anniversary of the National Public Health Agency. Since its inauguration two years ago, the NPHA has stood as a symbol of hope and excellence, looking out for the public through early detection, heightened surveillance and effective case management of public health emergencies.

Breaking news!!! #GoVSL @DembyAustin @npha_sl just declared #SierraLeone free of #Mpox outbreak following internationally accepted public health standards of the country going for more than forty-two days without recording a new case.

Another major win in the fight against #Mpox in #SierraLeone as #GoVSL @DembyAustin @npha_sl just received another 50,000 additional doses of vaccines. Made possible through @gavi , @AfricaCDC, @WHOSierraLeone @UNICEFSL, these drugs will increase chances of defeating the virus.

Moyamba Town is witnessing a healthcare revolution like no other as the #GoVSL, partners, #MoH @DembyAustin, are currently constructing a 100-bed hospital. When completed, this new facility will be a complementary referral outlet to serve the over 350,000 inhabitants of Moyamba.

In less than 2 years, @MercyShips, with support from #GoVSL @DembyAustin, has successfully performed nearly 3000 FREE lifesaving surgeries for Sierra Leoneans. Today, local media partners were received onboard to get an insight into things that make these interventions possible.
As president @julius_maadabio reaffirms #SierraLeone’s commitment to achieving Universal Health Coverage, the #GoVSL @DembyAustin, secures $20 million pandemic fund award. The fund is dedicated to strengthening pandemic prevention, preparedness, & response in low income countries

As the #GoVSL works with its bilateral partners to improve quality healthcare, the Japanese Ambassador to #SierraLeone, HE Hiroshi Yoshimoto, just handed over a 400kva mobile generator & a water bowser to @DembyAustin. This will boost energy supply & water needs of hospitals.

The arrival of these 61,300 Mpox vaccines has placed 🇸🇱 among countries in Africa that have now received these critical drugs. All this is part of the #GoVSL’s @DembyAustin’s deliberate effort to proactively prevent further spread of the virus among people & protect communities.

@DembyAustin just received 61,300 doses of the Mpox vaccine, the MVA-BN. This is a true demonstration of #GoVSL’s commitment to end the ongoing virus in #SierraLeone. These will be pivotal in the current response by helping to safeguard communities & prevent further transmission

We thought, the new Gov will bring some kind of tight disciplines, rules and regulations to passenger transport services, specifically for Pvt bus service. However, so far nothing. Gov has the 2/3 majority and they can easily introduce new rules @Dr_HariniA #GOVSL

Allegedly not much support from #GovSL beyond occasional visits and photo ops.
Like that stupid Bandula idiot at the EV show who was only there to cut a ribbon and look stupid 🙄
Other interesting details;
• 150km range.
• Cargo and AC-equipped variants also available.
• Charge time around 45 mins at supercharger & 3 hrs on standard wall outlet.
• Specialized VoltMotive tuk chargers are being deployed island-wide in 15+ locations, 3 currently within CMB.
Can also use existing ChargeNET L2 chargers.
• Currently targeting corps for their fleets, not individual drivers, some international corps have shown interested.
• Was told that CDB has purchased several converted tuks for their fleet.
• Allegedly not much support from #GovSL beyond occasional visits and photo ops. 🙄
• Hoping to export to Bangladesh & India, among other SEA countries.
Going for Rs. 2.9 mil + VAT per unit.
Set to go < Rs. 2 mil with production ramp.
Biggest pain point IMO, no fault of their own.
They’re also planning to announce a crossover EV next year.
Looking forward to that one but idk how they can be competitive and sustainable with these taxes. 😕

Such places should be questioned by the Authorities with the support of @tourismlk shame on our people for treating/cheating like this!!
All prices should be displayed if #GovSL is aiming for more tourism in flow. @PMDNewsGov
I won't ever recommend anyone to go to this shitty street food experience in Aluth Kade.

#govsl
Can the public also know the cost of setting this up and it's operational cost “transparency” 🌚
According to Dr Jasinghe the TD for #COP28Dubai consists of 24 individuals, with 11 delegates from the Min of Env. and 7 climate change experts. Only 3 of the 11 delegates are funded by #GovSL , and the rest of the delegation is funded by #UNEP , #WHO etc. (3/6)
🔴 තමන්ගේ පාලනයෙන් තොර ජීව විද්යාත්මක හා අතිශ්ය මානුශීය අවශ්යතාවයක් අරඹයා බදු පැනවීම කුමන මානව සාදාරණයක්ද?

DID YOU KNOW that the total tariff on sanitary napkins is 46.9%?
This #MenstrualHygieneDay let's champion the rights of women and stop taxing them for their biology!
#periodtax #sanitarynapkins #taxes #tariffs #itsbloodyunfair #srilanka #govsl #periodpoverty #economy

@nikefrancess @ecowas_cedeao But when you ask the Minister of Health and the Minister of Energy, they would start telling you about policies and not implementations....
As for the #Govsl in entirety, they really know they've failed this nation but just don't want to admit to it due to greed and thirst for P
