Background
and Purpose: This study explores Ebola survivors' healthcare-seeking experiences within the context of Sierra Leone's free healthcare initiative (FHCI) and comprehensive package for Ebola survivors (CPES) program while also exploring the enablers and barriers to their use of informal healthcare. Materials and methods We employed an inductive, exploratory qualitative approach using focus group discussion with 41 adults Ebola survivors in the four administrative regions of Sierra Leone. Results Biomedical care was the first choice of treatment option for most survivors immediately following post-ETC discharge. Survivors' healthcare-seeking experience varies before and after their inclusion into FHCI and the establishment of the CPES program. Personal and health system factors influenced survivors decision to seek multiple healthcare approaches, especially T&CM. Conclusion Our findings suggest the determinants of Ebola survivors healthcare-seeking experiences should be considered when developing and implementing programs aimed at improving the current health status of Ebola survivors in Sierra Leone. |
