Today

Available for over a year

The death rate from Ebola among pregnant women is extremely high. The charity Medecins Sans Frontieres says almost all the pregnant women its medics have treated haven't survived. Health workers are also at greater risk when caring for expectant mothers. The Âé¶¹Éç has been given access to the only treatment centre for pregnant women, and our global health correspondent Tulip Mazumdar reports from the Sierra Leone capital, Freetown.
