Health research in Sierra Leone is currently conducted, managed, and financed by diverse organizations, with very little coordination. Seeking to improve coordination and share knowledge, a group of concerned scientists, physicians, medical students, and others, known as the Sierra Leone Health and Biomedical Research Group (HBIOMED-SL), met in Freetown, Sierra Leone, on March 18–19, 2010. This report summarizes the symposium and covers three days of site visits and needs assessments conducted by representatives of the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the University of Maryland College Park School of Public Health.
Even though I have worked in Sierra Leone in the past, the role of MLI Country Lead has given me the opportunity to build upon these previous experiences and to work closely with members of the Ministry of Health and Sanitation (MOHS), to support the implementation of health policies and reforms that they have prioritized.
