Dr. Samuel J. Smith, D.M.O. for Bombali speaks on Health Care Delivery Systems
"...Health care delivery systems have generally improved. We desire to take health care services to the remotest grassroots community in our chiefdom. Therefore, the Health Ministry is adopting strategies that will decentralize the health sector to make it more viable and responsive especially to the needs of the poor and vulnerable."

I can tell you with confidence that the decentralization of health delivery systems is actually taking effect here. Currently, there is no chiefdom in Bombali district without a health centre. The Health Ministry is really doing well and we are proud of them!

Improved Health Care Systems In Bombali District
The recent adoption of community based approaches to and decentralization of health care delivery services nationwide by the Ministry of Health and Sanitation in Sierra Leone is yielding remarkable dividend, especially in vulnerable and resource constrained settings in rural and remote chiefdoms where health services even for minor illnesses had been completely non-existent.

THE 2005 ANNUAL REPORT FROM THE DISTRICT MEDICAL OFFICER FOR BOMBALI DISTRICT
EXTRACT:... Before the war, there were 82 functional PHUs within the district. Each of these suffered varying degrees of damages during the looting, vandalism and wanton destruction that characterized the era of the war. It is very apparent that the health care delivery system declined from its routine functional status. Consequently, health indicators for the district during the post war situation assumed very unacceptable limits. Presently, 76 PHUs have been re-established and made ‘functional’ by the DHMT and partners. Click on the following link for the 27 paged Word document. [ Download/View File ]

Interview with Dr Adikalie A. Kamara, Medical Officer in Charge, Makeni Government Hospital
I have served this hospital since 2001. By then, it was in a terrible state. There was not a single nurse and the structures were badly damaged and vandalized. Drug, medical supplies and consumables were scarce too.
