In Sierra Leone Ebola has not been seen the past 6 weeks but their are other health problems that are happening with pregnant women and newborns. Home births without a medical staff present, is one of the worst contributors to the worlds infant mortality rates. One in twenty newborns die in Sierra Leone. They also have problems in hospitals because if they do not have the money, the hospital has no problem throwing a pregnant women out, so they have resort to at home birth. This is due to the corruption and many other things related directly to poverty. Clinics also have seen a drop in patients coming in due to the epidemic of Ebola.
