Abstract
This study evaluates the impact of Sierra Leone’s 2010 Free Health Care Initiative (FHCI). It uses 2 nationally representative surveys to identify the impact of the policy on utilisation of maternal care services by pregnant women and recent mothers as well as the impact on curative health care services and out-of-pocket payments for consultation and prescription in children under the age of 5 years
This research is funded under the Department for International Development’s REBUILD Programme which is led by the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine
