Every newborn deserves the best start in life. The UK Government, through @FCDOGovUK and in partnership with @UNICEFSL and the Ministry of Health, has supported the provision of vital neonatal equipment to help restore services at Makeni's Special Care Baby Unit following a fire. The £32,000 investment will help
strengthen lifesaving care for small and sick newborns.

Women and girls are at the heart of the UK’s partnership with Sierra Leone.

From reducing maternal mortality to improving education outcomes and supporting women entrepreneurs, we are proud to back programmes that unlock opportunity and empowerment.

✅Through @InvestSalone, we help women‑led businesses grow and create jobs.
✅Through @LehWiLanSL and our Saving Lives 3 health programme, girls are staying in school, and mothers are accessing lifesaving care.
✅And through our #MOVEInitiative support to feminist movements, we are ensuring change is locally led and sustainable.

On #IWD2026, we celebrate every woman driving Sierra Leone forward.

In support of Sierra Leone’s response to the Mpox outbreak, the UK Government deployed the UK Emergency Medical Team (UK‑EMT) for a three‑month mission to assist patients who developed severe complications. The team provided essential plastic and reconstructive surgeries, clinical care, training and counselling, and has now donated surgical kits, rehabilitation equipment and specialist micro‑surgical instruments to Connaught Hospital to help maintain ongoing patient care.

As we celebrate #WorldPrematurityDay, #MoH @DembyAustin is proud of achieving over 90% survival rate for the estimated 24,000 premature babies born each year. The establishment of the Special Care Baby Unit with @FCDOGovUK @UNICEFSL allows for tiny babies to survive & thrive.

[Africa CDC @AfricaCDC]

After #SierraLeone confirmed its first mpox case in January 2025, infections and fatalities rose rapidly, driven by home-based care.

Health Minister Dr Austin Demby(@DembyAustin) explains how a decisive shift to managing patients in treatment centres reversed the trend, sharply reducing deaths and strengthening the country’s outbreak response.
