National Multi-Sectoral Strategy to Prevent and Control Anaemia (2018-2025)

This is a publication of the Sierra Leone Ministry of Health and Sanitation
The strategy identifies targets and multi-sectoral approaches for reducing anaemia in the population, with a special focus on those most at risk (children under-5, women of reproductive age including adolescent girls, and pregnant women). The objectives of the strategy are to i) improve prevention and control of infections and specific health conditions which cause anaemia; ii) improve reproductive health and delivery care; iii) improve micronutrient intake and diet quality; iv) improve education of girls and women, and v) improve integrated platforms to deliver anaemia interventions.
