Camilla And Marc Collaboration

Author, mother, and former refugee turned CEO Aminata Conteh-Biger, along with her children Serafina and Matisse to the conversation.

“It is important for me to support ovarian cancer simply because it is a woman’s issue. I realise that anything that affects any woman will affect me too. Women’s issues are not talked about and I personally feel like there is more noise than action. Also as a woman of colour we find it difficult to talk about diseases. Where I come from, in Sierra Leone West Africa, there is absolutely no knowledge, research, or cures for any type of cancer. So again, any women issues, I make my issues.

Sierra Leone’s 300 Days of Activism Signals a Turning Point in Maternal Health Reform

Sierra Leone is entering a defining moment in maternal health reform. Through its “300 Days of Activism” campaign, the government is mobilising ministries, health teams, clinicians, and partners around the Triple Zeros: zero preventable maternal deaths, zero preventable child deaths, and zero zero-dose children. At the Aminata Maternal Foundation, we see every day that these outcomes are not inevitable, they are solvable when systems are designed and supported effectively. The opportunity now is to ensure this momentum receives the investment and long-term support it deserves.
