Abstract
The world naturally reacted with shock when, in February 2011, the Executive Director of UNICEF, the UN Children’s agency disclosed that Sierra Leone’s infant mortality rate stood at 270 deaths for every 100,000 children born. The crucial fact was, however, that Sierra Leone, indeed, has the highest child and maternal mortality rate in the world. Not surprisingly, this was directly attributed to malnutrition, harmful cultural practices and, more significantly, many years of under investment in health.
