Summary: Sierra Leone, one of the least developed low-income countries, is slowly recovering from the devastating effects of civil war and Ebola outbreak. The country's healthcare system faces challenges such as shortages of skilled human resources and essential medicines, leading to high maternal and child mortality rates. The implementation of National Emergency Medical Service (NEMS) aims to establish the first prehospital emergency medical system in the country, supported by international organizations and local stakeholders.
