Liberians are living shorter but sicker lives. Life expectancy at birth (59-62 years) stayed fairly consistent from 2015 to 2023. In 2023, the World Bank (2025) reported a 63-year lifespan for women and a 61-year lifespan for men                           . The WHO (2024) data listed the primary health indicators (LHIs) of death causes for women                                                               .  To improve public health, we will work with health organizations. We will examine the extent to which social and economic problems are key health risks across age groups in Liberia. Addressing these key factors related to social and environmental issues is important in Liberia.

Achieve Health Equity and Improve Health Status

• Reduce Disparities: We will explore the reasons for health disparities across groups. Addressing poverty and poor sanitation can help decrease these inequalities.

• Promote Wellbeing: We will work together, connect, and include groups, coalitions, leaders, and members to own their health. By improving conditions such as housing and food, we can improve health and prevent disease.

• Tackle Malnutrition: Malnutrition is common in Liberia, particularly among children, which raises the chances of death from everyday diseases. Addressing food insecurity is critical to child health and development.

Reinforce the Health System in Liberia

• Build Trust: We will partner with various groups to meet social needs and build trust.

• Improve Access to Care: We will keep concentrating on issues such as poverty and transportation limitations, which significantly hinder healthcare access. Improving these conditions, as well as constructing better infrastructure, will lead to increased service use.

• Preventing Complications: Enhancing SDOH increases the likelihood of individuals following treatment, thus preventing issues and lessening chronic illness on both individuals and the healthcare system. 

• Resource Allocation: Focusing on SDOH allows for tailored interventions, maximizing resources in Liberia, which has limited health funding.

• Improve Access to Care: We will keep concentrating on issues such as poverty and transportation limitations, which significantly hinder healthcare access. Improving these conditions, as well as constructing better infrastructure, will lead to increased service use.

Manage Chronic Diseases More Effectively

• Address Root Causes: We will examine the connection between chronic illnesses such as diabetes and heart disease, and bad diets and places where it’s hard to be active.

• Enable Self-Management: We will assess, evaluate, and monitor people with chronic conditions needing more than medical care.

• Preventing Complications: Enhancing SDOH increases the likelihood of individuals following treatment, thus preventing issues and lessening chronic illness on both individuals and the healthcare system.
