This comprehensive account of the deadliest Ebola outbreak in
history examines its devastating effects on West Africa's most
vulnerable populations: pregnant women and children. Noted experts
across disciplines assess health care systems' responses to the
epidemic in Liberia, Guinea, and Sierra Leone, emphasizing key
areas such as pregnancy, prenatal services, childbirth, neonatal
care, and survivor health among pregnant and non-pregnant women.
The 30 chapters hone in on gender-based social issues exacerbated
during the outbreak, from violence against women and girls to
barriers to female education. At the same time, chapters pinpoint
numerous areas for service delivery and policy improvements for
more coordinated, effective, and humane actions during future
pandemics. A sampling of the topics: Ebola virus disease: perinatal
transmission and epidemiology Comprehensive clinical care for
children with Ebola virus disease Maternal and reproductive rights:
Ebola and the law in Liberia Ebola-related complications for
maternal, newborn, and child health service delivery and
utilization in Guinea The Ebola epidemic halted female genital
cutting in Sierra Leone-temporarily Maternity care for Ebola at
Medecins Sans Frontieres centers Stigmatization of pregnant women
with and without Ebola Exclusion of women and infants from Ebola
treatment trials Role of midwives during the Ebola epidemic
Pregnant in the Time of Ebola is a powerful resource for public
health specialists, anthropologists, social scientists, physicians,
epidemiologists, nurses, midwives, and governmental and
non-governmental agency staff studying the effects of the epidemic
on women and children as a result of the most widespread Ebola
outbreak to date.
