KSLP is a long-term capacity building partnership between King's Health Partners in London and key partner institutions in Sierra Leone.

KSLP aims to help strengthen Sierra Leone's health system by improving training clinical services policy and research.

Why are we exciting?

King’s Sierra Leone Partnership (KSLP) aims to help build Sierra Leone’s health system by strengthening training, clinical services, policy and research. Through an innovative programme and resourceful approach, KSLP responds directly to the needs of the health sector in Sierra Leone.

Health Partnerships are a model for improving health and health services based on ideas of co-development between actors and institutions from different countries. The partnerships are long-term but not permanent, and are based on ideas of reciprocal learning and mutual benefits.

Our work in Sierra Leone particularly focuses on the development of sustainable skills, organisational structures, resources and commitment to improving health.
