Ministry of Health and Sanitation National Health Policy Foreword by Hon. Minister of Health Mrs. Abator Thomas
This document sets out the policy of the Government of Sierra Leone motivating and guiding the health sector.The previous health policy was written in 1993, nearly 10 years ago. Since then there have been a number of changes in the context facing the health sector that lead to the need for an updating of that policy. Most obviously, the civil war that the country has suffered has caused major disruption to the health system in terms of damage to physical infrastructure, loss of skilled professionals and, through the wider economic effects, reduction in the real resources available to the health sector.

Speech by the Hon. Minister at the opening of the Sierra Leone Psychiatric Hospital
 I want to inform the nation that the Government of Sierra Leone and the Ministry of Health and Sanitation take the delivery of psychiatric care as a serious concern. A Draft Mental Health Policy is now in place. It is hoped that this will direct and enable our collective effort at providing psychiatric care nationwide. The current estimate of those mentally ill is about 150,000 i.e. about 3 per cent of the population. This includes people suffering from depression, situational disturbances, drug and alcohol dependency, trauma, other neuroses as well as the psychoses.
