This initiative is aimed at achieving zero preventable maternal and child deaths, a coordinated national movement toward systems change. Through this campaign, the government pledges to spend the next 300 days to work collectively to achieve what the Triple Zeros; zero preventable maternal deaths, zero preventable child deaths, zero dose children a national benchmark against which success should be measured.
Across ministries, district health teams, clinicians, and development partners, there is an observed visible shift from fragmented efforts to aligned execution. Data systems are being reviewed in real time, frontline workers are collaborating more closely with policymakers, and health leaders are moving with urgency and accountability rarely seen at this scale.
Being present on the ground is how we at the Aminata Maternal Foundation solve problems at the right level. Sierra Leone is proof that maternal and child deaths are not inevitable outcomes of poverty or geography, they are sometimes outcomes of system design, and therefore solvable.
The challenge now is ensuring this momentum receives the global recognition, investment, and long-term support it deserves. Too often, progress in low-income countries like Sierra Leone goes unrecognised, despite the urgency and innovation happening on the ground. If this alignment holds, Sierra Leone will not only transform its own maternal health future but may become a global model for how systems-based collaboration can save lives.
