On September 12, Ambassador Maria Brewer joined President Julius Maada Bio, who formally launched the National Action Plan for Health Security (NAPHS). The NAPHS is a road map for building capacity to prevent, detect, and respond to public health threats.
Ambassador Brewer focused her remarks on the coordinated response to the Ebola epidemic, which was supported by multiple U.S. Government agencies working closely with the Government of Sierra Leone. President Bio stated that universal health care “is a down payment on a fairer, safer and more prosperous future for our people and our country.”
