Effect of the Covid-19 pandemic on drug-resistant tuberculosis treatment outcomes at a national referral hospital in Sierra Leone, 2017 to 2022
Sierra Leone is one of the 30 high TB burden countries in the world, with an incidence rate in 2023 of 273 per 100,000 population. Despite progress in case notification and treatment coverage, around 5,000 cases of TB in Sierra Leone are missing each year. The COVID-19 pandemic has further compounded these challenges. We highlight its effect on drug-resistant TB treatment outcomes. We conducted a retrospective cohort study of drug-resistant TB ca…
Evidence of resiliency in maternal health services and outcomes in Kono District, Sierra Leone during the Covid-19 pandemic
Following the Ebola outbreak in Sierra Leone, the post-Ebola recovery investments in Wellbody Clinic and Koidu Government Hospital provide an opportunity to conduct a more focused examination of facility-level maternal health services and outcomes in the context of COVID-19 pandemic. This study aimed to describe the use of maternal healthcare services and outcomes in these health facilities before, during, and after the COVID-19 pandemic. The stu…
Impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on regional and national uptake of HIV testing services in Sierra Leone
Our study shows that HIV testing was significantly disrupted during the COVID-19 pandemic but recovered quickly after the pandemic. These findings highlight that lessons learned from previous epidemics may influence adaptive strategies to maintain essential health services during public health emergencies

How Well Are Hand Hygiene Practices and Promotion Implemented in Sierra Leone? A Cross-Sectional Study in 13 Public Hospitals
Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) result in millions of avoidable deaths or prolonged lengths of stay in hospitals and cause huge economic loss to health systems and communities. Primarily, HAIs spread through the hands of healthcare workers, so improving hand hygiene can reduce their spread. We evaluated hand hygiene practices and promotion across 13 public health hospitals (six secondary and seven tertiary hospitals) in the Western Area o…
Hand Hygiene Compliance at Two Tertiary Hospitals in Freetown, Sierra Leone, in 2021
Hand hygiene actions are essential to reduce healthcare-associated infections and the development of antimicrobial resistance. In this cross-sectional study at two tertiary hospitals, Freetown, Sierra Leone, we observed hand hygiene compliance (defined as using handwash with soap and water or alcohol-based hand rub (ABHR) amongst healthcare workers between June and August 2021. Using the WHO Hand Hygiene tool, observations were made in relation t…
Evaluation of Drinking Water Quality and Bacterial Antibiotic Sensitivity in Wells and Standpipes at Household Water Points in Freetown, Sierra Leone
Water quality surveillance can help to reduce waterborne diseases. Despite better access to safe drinking water in Sierra Leone, about a third of the population (3 million people) drink water from unimproved sources. In this cross-sectional study, we collected water samples from 15 standpipes and 5 wells and measured the physicochemical and bacteriological water quality, and the antimicrobial sensitivity of Escherichia coli (E. coli) in two commu…
