The UK has committed £230 million to the response in Sierra Leone. This includes supporting 700 treatment beds to help up to 8,800 patients over 6 months; and supporting over 100 burial teams and their fleet. With UK support, nationally on average 95% of reported bodies are being buried within 24 hours.
