The Guardian: Ebola survivor and frontline fighter dies after childbirth complications
“A woman named a TIME magazine person of the year in 2014 for her frontline work fighting Ebola in West Africa has died from childbirth complications in Liberia. Hospital staff were reluctant to treat her because of the stigma that still surrounds the disease, according to her family. Salomé Karwah lost her parents, her brother, aunts, uncles, cousins, and a niece in the Ebola outbreak that swept her home country in August 2014. She also contracted the disease, but survived…” (McVeigh, 2/28).

NPR: Liberian Nurse Who Recovered From Ebola Dies In Childbirth
“…I think what this tells us is that even before Ebola hit Liberia, the country suffered a massive insufficiency in medical care, and then Ebola came and wiped out what little there was left.

Washington Post: Once TIME’s ‘Person of the Year,’ an Ebola fighter dies in childbirth due to stigma of virus
“…Even without the stigma [of Ebola], maternal health care in Liberia is abysmal. About one in 28 mothers die in the weeks surrounding childbirth, according to the international public health organization Partners in Health. The Liberian government spends about $50 per person a year on health care. Many hospitals lack basic equipment, medicine, and even electricity…” (Bearak, 2/28).
