Kailahun Hospital Achieves 166 Death-Free Days
Kailahun Government Hospital has recorded 166 consecutive days without a maternal death starting May 30, 2026, marking significant progress in regional healthcare delivery and maternal mortality prevention.
This landmark achievement was highlighted during a nationwide supervision exercise by the Directorate of Hospital and Ambulance Services (DHAS) aimed at evaluating hospital performance, strengthening governance, and addressing service delivery gaps in line with the National Hospital Strategy.
As part of the evaluation, which also included visits to Kenema Government Hospital, the DHAS team inspected healthcare financing, emergency preparedness, regulatory compliance, and essential medicine supply chains.
While the 166-day streak demonstrates substantial advancement, health officials emphasized that maintaining this standard will require sustained, coordinated support from hospital management, healthcare personnel, and key stakeholders.
