Article Synopsis
- Sierra Leone has seen a decline in neonatal mortality rates from 48.6 per 1,000 live births in 2008 to 29.6 in 2019, but inequalities persist across different socio-economic and geographic groups.
- The study analyzed data from the Sierra Leone Demographic Health Surveys using several measures of inequality related to factors like maternal age, economic status, and education.
- While neonatal mortality disparities by age and residence have worsened, economic and educational inequalities have improved over the years.

Background: The clinical management of persistent medical conditions affecting Ebola survivors, generally described as a post-Ebola syndrome, remains a public health concern. We aimed to analyze Ebola survivors' laboratory biomarkers as compared to their non-infected household relatives to identify biomarkers that could guide the identification of survivors at increased risk of developing severe at odds with the non-severe post-Ebola syndrome.
Materials And Methods: Data were extracted from medical records of the Ebola survivors clinic, and we included only Ebola survivor's parameters recorded during the first baseline follow-up visit 2 weeks interval after their second negative PCR result.
