The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) began working in Sierra Leone in 2008 through the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). After helping the nation respond to Ebola, a permanent country office was established in 2015 to support the Government of Sierra Leone through the Ministry of Health and Sanitation (MoHS). CDC’s HIV and Tuberculosis (TB) focus is:

• Providing technical assistance and enhancing partner coordination at the national and district level

• Implementing effective prevention programs by improving HIV testing and preventing mother-to-child transmission

• Strengthening surveillance and program monitoring and evaluation

• Improving care and treatment services including HIV/TB diagnosis and antiretroviral (ART) treatment

• Enhancing point of care laboratory testing for Multi Drug Resistant (MDR)/Extensively Drug Resistant (XDR) TB and HIV/TB co-infection

• Building high quality laboratory systems to support HIV and TB testing
