Surviving Ebola
The Ebola outbreak in Sierra Leone lasted 18 months and, despite the country being declared free of the disease in November, thousands of survivors now face a bleak future.
The Ebola outbreak in Sierra Leone lasted 18 months and killed nearly 4,000 people. More than 4,000 others who were infected survived. The country was declared free of the disease in November but, despite joy at that declaration, thousands of survivors now face a bleak future after losing loved ones, livelihoods and their health. Many are suffering serious after effects, and are shunned by traumatised neighbours. The BBC's global health correspondent Tulip Mazumdar went to meet them.
