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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA sampling of the topics: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEbola virus disease: perinatal transmission and epidemiology\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComprehensive clinical care for children with Ebola virus disease\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaternal and reproductive rights: Ebola and the law in Liberia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEbola-related complications for maternal, newborn, and child health service delivery and utilization in Guinea\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Ebola epidemic halted female genital cutting in Sierra Leone—temporarily \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaternity care for Ebola at Médecins Sans Frontières centers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStigmatization of pregnant women with and without Ebola\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExclusion of women and infants from Ebola treatment trials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRole of midwives during the Ebola epidemic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePregnant in the Time of Ebola\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2019-01-15\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319976365\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-97637-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 254.0cm x178.0cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 487.0\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44808063647884,"sku":"9783319976365","price":143.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319976365_a36866bd-256f-4104-a1d1-b005bed92c5b.jpg?v=1763614343","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783319976365","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
