epidemiological analysis.

with Sierra Leone’s health authorities and the University of Sierra Leone 1.

Government.
o Its primary mandate is to strengthen public health institutions’ capacity to
prevent, detect, control, and respond effectively to disease threats.

on strengthening institutions, workforce, local vaccine production,
domestic financing, and partnerships1.
