SIERRA LEONE: Continuing Coverage on Free Health Care Programme
BBC (UK) reported on 27 April that Sierra Leone has launched a free healthcare plan for pregnant women, breast-feeding mothers and children under five years old. Ratiszai Ndlovo, Sierra Leone's UNFPA representative, said that although medical equipment had been ordered and some drugs distributed around the country, everything was still not in place for the launch of the healthcare plan. "It's not perfect, it's not 100 percent," she said. "But I think we cannot start the programme with everything in a perfect condition." Read: BBC
