MSI Sierra Leone

As one of MSI’s oldest programmes, MSI Sierra Leone first opened its doors in 1986. Since then, the programme has expanded its reach to cover 14 regions across the country.

MSI Sierra Leone provides all modern methods of contraception, including short-acting, long-acting and reversible methods, as well as post-abortion care for clients who have undergone an unsafe abortion. In addition, they offer outpatient maternal and child health services, cervical cancer screening and testing, testing and treatment for sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and laboratory services. 

Throughout its long and proud history, MSI Sierra Leone, known locally as “de mammy fo welbodi” or “the mother of health”, has reliably been there for women, including the poorest and most marginalised, even in the toughest of times. The programme continued to provide services throughout the decade-long civil war (and was the only NGO to do so) as well as the Ebola health crisis in 2015.
