Sierra Leone made significant progress in its health programs between 2000 and 2014, but the country’s devastating Ebola outbreak in 2014 caused major disruptions to all health services, the OIG said, in the report on its first country audit of Sierra Leone. The entire country is still engaged in recovering from the adverse effects of the outbreak, the report says, with stalled progress on HIV and TB just one of its countless damaging consequences.

The countries may ask for a greater investment in health systems strengthening, as poor infrastructure, a shortage of trained health workers and weak systems are driving the spread of the outbreak.
