Scaling up of electronic case-based disease surveillance reporting for Covid-19 and other notifiable diseases through capacity building and antigen RDT provision
Introduction: Electronic case-based disease surveillance (eCBDS) provides timely and detailed data collection on diseases and their risk factors for control actions. Use of eCBDS is still low in many African countries including Sierra Leone due to technological, financial, and human resource challenges. Sierra Leone started using eCBDS in 2019 and the COVID-19 pandemic provided the right opportunity for scale up. To support the scale up, a capaci…
Socio-demographic factors associated with incomplete vaccination or non-vaccination among children aged 12–23 months in Sierra Leone

In order to increase childhood vaccine uptake, we recommend the development of initiatives geared towards optimizing facility-based service delivery, intensifying health education focusing more on vaccination, enhancing community engagement, addressing barriers to vaccine access, establishing and ensuring proper functioning of immunization defaulter trackin…

Despite successful implementation of IDSR in most countries, one of the challenges that persists is that of inadequate trained workforce compet…
