摘要: BackgroundSierra Leone, in West Africa, is one of the poorest developing countries in the world. Sierra Leone has experienced several recent challenges namely, a civil war from 1991 to 2002, a massive Ebola outbreak from 2014 to 2016, followed by floods and landslides in 2017. In this study, we quantified the burden of disease in Sierra Leone over a 27-year period, from 1990 to 2017.
