PREvalence Study on Surgical COnditions (PRESSCO) 2020: A Population‐Based Cross‐Sectional Countrywide Survey on Surgical Conditions in Post‐Ebola Outbreak Sierra Leone

PRESSCO 2020 is the first surgical needs household survey which compares against earlier study data. Despite the 2013-2016 Ebola outbreak, which profoundly disrupted the national healthcare system, a substantial reduction in reported surgical conditions was observed. Compared to one-time measurements, repeated household surveys yield finer granular data on the characteristics and situations of populations in need of surgical treatment.
