*Timeliness indicates timing of districts reporting to national level. During 2015, 35% of HFs in Sierra Leone reported Ebola cases to their respective districts. During 2016, 94% of health facilities reported to their districts, and all districts reported at the national level. Data source: CDC Sierra Leone Country Office analysis of Sierra Leone Ministry of Health data. HF, health facility; L, late; NR, no report; NC, not calculated; T, on time. †Level of completeness <50%; performance did not meet minimum standard. ‡Level of completeness >50% and <80%; performance met minimum standard, but did not meet target. §Level of completeness >80%; performance met target.
