Financing Alliance for Health Fact Card: Sierra Leone

Authors: Financing Alliance for Health

In 2018, the Financing Alliance for Health produced a series of fact cards providing key information on health landscapes, financing, and community health systems across eight countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, including Sierra Leone.
