                                                                It is against this background that the Ministry of Health and Sanitation with its partners have 
taken the lead to develop Essential Health Services Package (EHSP). The MOHS believes that the 
development of EHSP; defining the services that should be available at each level of care
(community to ...tertiary level), for each age cohort, and across each public health functions, not 
only allows for more effective and equitable health service delivery, but also for the 
establishment of a functional referral system and allocation of appropriate investments for high 
impact interventions. The package is expected to set precedence in defining ‘essential’ set of 
services for the population in Sierra Leone, structurally promoting integration of health services, 
and providing succinct guidance to partners and stakeholders on the country priorities.
