Sierra Leone was one of the countries top on PSF’s list to reach for a few reasons
- The after effect of Ebola
- The sheer need in the country
- Pestering from dear friends.
Since committing to Sierra Leone we have worked out their local strategy which is to have 2 days of regular outreach per month and also a one-day glaucoma outreach where we have seen the same 50 people over the last 2 years to ensure that they can continue to have the eye drops they need regularly.
As in Nigeria we have picked up a few specific cases and helped by paying for surgical procedures to do just that.
