The Ministry of Health of Sierra Leone has launched the first phase of a nationwide training programme aimed at strengthening hospital governance and leadership across Sierra Leone.
The initiative, implemented in partnership with the University of Global Health Equity, targets key healthcare administrators drawn from health facilities across the country.
Participants include hospital secretaries, medical superintendents, and matrons who play central roles in the day-to-day administration and management of hospitals.
According to the Ministry of Health, the programme is designed to enhance the leadership capacity of hospital administrators, improve management practices, and reinforce governance structures within healthcare facilities.
Health officials say the training will equip participants with essential skills in hospital administration, strategic decision-making, and effective leadership.
The skills gained through the programme are expected to contribute to improved coordination and management within hospitals, ultimately strengthening the delivery of healthcare services nationwide.
The ministry noted that strengthening leadership and governance in hospitals remains a critical component of efforts to improve the performance of the country’s health system.
By building the capacity of senior hospital administrators, officials believe health facilities will be better positioned to manage resources, support medical staff, and deliver quality care to patients.
Officials say the first phase of the training forms part of broader efforts by the Ministry of Health to build a more responsive and accountable healthcare system across Sierra Leone through targeted professional development for key health sector personnel.
