The Christian Health Association Sierra Leone (CHASL) successfully conducted a comprehensive training for healthcare workers on the Prevention of Mother-to-Child Transmission (PMTCT), Early Infant Diagnosis (EID), Tuberculosis (TB), and Dried Blood Spot (DBS) sample collection.

This impactful training under the lifeline project, supported by the African Christian Health Association Platform (ACHAP), brought together healthcare providers to strengthen their capacity through enhanced knowledge and practical skills in HIV prevention, early infant diagnosis, TB screening, and accurate DBS collection procedures.

The training was facilitated in collaboration with the Directorate of Disease Prevention and Control under the Ministry of Health, ensuring a strong technical and coordinated approach.

Training Course on the Delivery of Vitamin A Supplementation, Deworming, and Multiple Micronutrient Supplements (MMS)

The Christian Health Association Sierra Leone (CHASL), in collaboration with the Healey International Relief Foundation, successfully participated in a Training Course on the Delivery of Vitamin A Supplementation, Deworming, and Multiple Micronutrient Supplements (MMS).

This important partnership continues to strengthen the capacity of frontline health workers, particularly nurses, to deliver essential nutrition and child health interventions with accuracy and confidence.

During the training, nurses enhanced their understanding of the differences among key interventions, including their composition, purpose, dosage, and timing of administration. Special emphasis was placed on the correct delivery of services for children aged 24–59 months.

Key highlights from the training included:
* Vitamin A Supplementation: Administered every six months to improve vision and boost immunity.

⁠* Deworming (Albendazole or Mebendazole): Given once or twice yearly to treat and prevent intestinal worm infections.

* ⁠* Multiple Micronutrient Supplements (MMS): Containing 15 essential vitamins and minerals, primarily used during pregnancy as a replacement for iron and folic acid supplementation, and not routinely used for children unless guided by national policy.

The training has further strengthened nurses’ capacity to deliver these life-saving interventions effectively, contributing to improved child health outcomes across communities.

Certificates were awarded to all CHASL representatives who successfully completed the course, recognizing their dedication and commitment to quality healthcare delivery.

Together, through strong partnerships, we continue to serve with compassion, excellence, and purpose.

✨ St John of God Student Nurses Champion Hypertension Awareness in Community Outreach

Nurses Week 2026 concluded on a powerful note that over 130 student nurses from both BSc and diploma programs at St John of God Nursing School stepped beyond the classroom to serve their communities.

In a vibrant display of commitment and compassion, these future healthcare professionals organized a large‑scale outreach focused on hypertension — one of the most pressing public health challenges today. Through screenings, education, and counselling, the students not only raised awareness but also empowered residents to take charge of their health.

This initiative reflects the school’s ethos of “giving back” and highlights the vital role nurses play in bridging the gap between medical knowledge and community well‑being. For the students, it was more than just an exercise in training; it was a chance to embody the values of service, empathy, and leadership that define the nursing profession.
