Women Struggling To Find Truly Free Health Care In Sierra Leone's System, Amnesty International Report Says
"Sierra Leone's free health care plan for pregnant women and young children is dysfunctional and hobbled by corruption and a lack of accountability," according to a report (.pdf) released Tuesday by Amnesty International, Agence France-Presse reports. The nation's free health care program for pregnant women, nursing mothers and children under five years old was launched in April 2010 with support from UNICEF, the World Bank, the WHO and the U.K. Department for International Development, AFP notes (9/6).
