Medicins Sans Frontiers-Ebola clinic

Medicins Sans Frontiers (MSF) opens Ebola clinic for pregnant women

Medical charity Medicins Sans Frontiers (MSF) has opened the first care centre in the current Ebola epidemic for pregnant women, whose survival rate from the virus is virtually zero, the charity said on Saturday.

There is currently one patient in the clinic, which is perched on a hill in the compound of a disused Methodist Boys’ High School in the Sierra Leone capital.

More than 20,700 people have been infected with the virus in Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia since it began a year ago and at least 8,200 people have died, according to World Health Organization figures.

The rate of transmission has slowed in Guinea and Liberia and there are signs it is starting to ebb in Sierra Leone, Reuters reports.

Women are particularly vulnerable to a disease spread through direct contact with infected people and with the corpses of victims, because women often care for sick family members, said MSF Field Coordinator, Esperanza Santos.

“Pregnant women (with Ebola) are a high risk group so they have less chance than the rest of the population,” she told Reuters. The charity has played a leading role in the fight against the virus.

Medical authorities say it is unclear why the survival rate for pregnant women is lower than for other patients but early testing and rapid treatment will help lower mortality rates.
