HFAC-SL ENGAGES GRAY BUSH COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP ON 300 DAYS TRIPLE ZERO CAMPAIGN.
Health For All Coalition Sierra Leone (HFAC-SL), with funding from the Ministry of Health and in collaboration with the Western Area Urban District Health Management Team, has engaged community leaders in Gray Bush Community as part of the 300 Days Triple Zero Dose Campaign.
The 300 Days Triple Zero Dose Campaign is a strategic health initiative designed to achieve three critical goals within a 300-day period: zero unvaccinated children, zero maternal deaths during childbirth, and zero preventable child deaths before the age of five. This ambitious campaign aims to significantly improve maternal and child health outcomes across Sierra Leone.
The engagement took the form of a comprehensive focus group discussion, bringing together key stakeholders, including religious leaders, traditional chiefs, women’s leaders, Facility Management Committee (FMC) members, and health workers.
During the session, leaders received detailed briefings on the campaign’s objectives, strategies, and expected impact on both the Gray Bush community and the nation. Discussions emphasized the critical role of community leadership in driving health behavior change at the grassroots level.
Participants were challenged to develop concrete, actionable plans to ensure:
- All pregnant women consistently visit the nearest health facility for check-ups and safe delivery,
- Every child under five receives all recommended vaccinations, and
- No child dies from preventable causes before their fifth birthday.
In response, Gray Bush community leaders unanimously reaffirmed their commitment to supporting the Gray Bush Health Center and collaborating with the Ministry of Health to ensure the campaign’s success. They pledged to use their influence to mobilize community members, address cultural barriers to healthcare access, and monitor progress toward the campaign’s targets.
This initiative shows HFAC-SL’s dedication to community-centered health interventions and its role as a key partner in Sierra Leone’s journey toward improved maternal and child health outcomes.
