TEXT ON SCREEN

The public ambulance system in Sierra Leone does not function well, making it difficult for people living in remote areas
to reach the hospital.

Aminata Sesay
Patient

In my village, pregnant women travel to hospital by motorbike because they’re not allowed to give birth at home. There is nothing else
in the village.

TEXT ON SCREEN

MSF is operating eight ambulances to transport patients in Kenema and Tonkolili districts

Mohamed M Kamara
Ambulance driver

The patients come because they have heard that MSF is working in Mile 91, caring for children and pregnant women.
The patient flow can be overwhelming, because anywhere patients know there is free healthcare, they come

TEXT ON SCREEN

Poverty ,
lack of transport options,
living in a remote community, prevent women from accessing maternal healthcare in Sierra Leone.

MSF’s ambulance service
Helps saving lives.

Theresa Macarthy
Patient

I am thankful to God that the ambulance brought me here. If it didn’t, something bad could have happened. But I gave birth, my baby is okay and I am okay too.
