Sierra Leone Maintains Zero Ebola Cases, Health Ministry Reassures Public

The Ministry of Health has reassured the public that Sierra Leone currently records zero cases of Ebola, emphasizing that the country’s health surveillance systems remain fully active to prevent any resurgence of the disease.

The update was provided during the Weekly Government Press Conference held at the Miatta Conference Centre, Youyi Building, and hosted by the Minister of Information and Civic Education, Chernor Bah.

Speaking to journalists, the Minister of Health gave a comprehensive briefing on the country’s epidemiological status, stressing that maintaining Ebola-free status remains a national priority given Sierra Leone’s historical vulnerability to outbreaks.

He outlined ongoing preventive measures, including strengthened surveillance systems and monitoring at border entry points, as well as community-level preparedness initiatives aimed at reducing the risk of cross-border transmission.

Central to the national response, he noted, is the National Public Health Agency (NPHA), which operates under the direct oversight of the Ministry of Health and the Presidency to ensure rapid response capacity and coordinated national health security.

The Ministry reaffirmed government’s commitment to maintaining vigilance while strengthening public health systems to safeguard citizens against potential outbreaks.
