PUBLIC NOTICE: MEASLES OUTBREAK IN SIERRA LEONE

The National Public Health Agency (NPHA), in collaboration with the Ministry of Health, has confirmed a measles outbreak in Sierra Leone, with 41 cases reported between January and April 2026 across eight districts nationwide, including Western Area Urban, Western Area Rural, Bo, Kenema, Kono, Port Loko, Bombali, and Tonkolili.

Western Area Urban remains the most affected district, with continued community transmission reported in Freetown.

Measles is a highly contagious disease that poses serious health risks, particularly to unvaccinated children. Complications may include pneumonia, diarrhea, blindness, encephalitis, and death.

Members of the public are encouraged to ensure that children receive their routine measles vaccinations and to promptly report any suspected cases to the nearest health facility for immediate medical attention.

Early detection and vaccination remain essential in preventing the spread of measles and protecting communities across the country.
