The main difficulty in controlling malaria in Sierra Leone is due to years of civil war that have weakened the government's ability to respond effectively to malaria outbreaks. The civil war damaged healthcare infrastructure, leading to a lack of resources and distrust among the public towards health initiatives. Without a stable healthcare system, managing malaria effectively remains a significant challenge.
