At SLONEC we help hospitals, clinics, pharmacies and laboratories manage billing and receivables, control drug and consumable stock, run payroll for clinical teams and meet tax and regulatory requirements.
Whether you run a hospital, a clinic, a pharmacy or a diagnostic laboratory, stock losses and unpaid bills are where margins disappear.
SLONEC brings billing and receivables, drug and consumable stock accounts, payroll for clinical staff and tax compliance together, so you can focus on patients.

A business manufacturing drugs, medical devices or other health items to WHO guidelines, investing at least US$500,000 and employing at least 50 people, can qualify for corporate tax relief of up to ten years.
Raw materials for a new pharmaceutical manufacturer can be imported duty-free for ten years, and intermediate goods at a 3% rate for ten years.
Retail pharmacies, wholesalers, importers and manufacturers of medicines must be licensed by the Pharmacy Board of Sierra Leone, and premises are inspected before a licence is issued.
From 1 January 2026 the Finance Act 2026 raised the corporate income tax rate for resident companies from 25% to 30%, made every company pay the higher of its normal income tax and the minimum alternate tax (2% of turnover), and abolished the investment allowance.
Checked on 10 October 2026 against the sources listed. Incentives usually have conditions and can change with each annual Finance Act, so speak to SLONEC before you rely on any of them for an investment decision.
