The Government of Sierra Leone through the Ministry of Health and Sanitation has on Saturday, April 9, 2022, awarded health workers, key partners, and stakeholders that are working to improve the country’s health service delivery.
The award ceremony which climaxes the three days National Health Summit showcases the government’s appreciation as it recognizes and celebrates the efforts of deserving teams and groups of people who have been working tirelessly to meet key indicators and contribute to the success of the health sector.
Gracing the special occasion was the Vice President of Sierra Leone Dr. Mohamed Juldeh Jalloh, who in his statement, emphasized the government’s commitment to improving the country’s health sector.

This is a moment to say thank you. Thank you for your excellence. Thank you for what you do. Thank you for knowing that you did wipe the tears from somebody,” said Dr. Demby.
