Seeing continued investments in maternal and adolescent health translating into real impact for communities across Sierra Leone remains deeply encouraging. This week in Makeni and Fadugu, I joined a high-level delegation from the Government of Iceland alongside @mohs_sl, district authorities, healthcare workers, and community representatives for the handover of two refurbished health facilities supporting maternal and adolescent health services in Northern Sierra Leone. From the renovated maternity wing at Makeni Regional Hospital to the dedicated youth-friendly health hub in Fadugu, these investments will strengthen access to quality and lifesaving healthcare services for women, girls, and young people. 🏥✨ Our sincere appreciation to @IcelandinSalone for its longstanding partnership and continued commitment to improving the health and wellbeing of communities in Sierra Leone, and to the healthcare workers and district teams whose dedication continues to drive progress every day. 🙏🏾 @UNFPA remains committed to working alongside Government and partners to ensure that every woman, every young person, and every community can access quality, dignified, and lifesaving healthcare services. 🧡 #MaternalHealth #EndFistula #AdolescentHealth #SRHR #HealthForAll

Investing in midwives is one of the most powerful ways to save lives. At the International Day of the Midwife Scientific Symposium in Freetown, I was encouraged by the launch of Sierra Leone’s first National Midwifery Investment Case—a critical step toward scaling the workforce needed to end preventable maternal and newborn deaths. Sierra Leone has made real progress, and @UNFPASierraleon is proud to have supported the training of over 1,800 midwives. But the gap remains. We must accelerate investment, particularly across Africa, where the need is greatest. Midwives are at the heart of resilient health systems. Supporting them is not optional, it is essential✊🏽 #IDM2026 #MidwivesSaveLives

Across communities in Moyamba District, with support from the @EUinSierraLeone through @UNFPASierraleon, under the Spotlight Initiative Project, we are intensifying efforts to ensure that no one faces violence in silence. Through targeted community outreach campaigns, we are promoting the utilization of One Stop Centres (OSCs), encouraging young people to speak out against violence, and strengthening linkages to essential services for survivors. Led by dedicated male advocacy groups, these engagements were held in Bailargor Community (Kori Chiefdom), Shenge (Kagboro Chiefdom), and Bradford (Ribbi Chiefdom). The conversations were bold, inclusive, and action-driven as they brought together school pupils, youths, community leaders, women, and girls. With a strong focus on Gender-Based Violence (GBV) and Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH), the outreach helped to break harmful norms, amplify voices, and promote safer, more supportive communities for all.
