Fatuma Fofana didn't have ‪#‎Ebola‬, but that didn't matter as one clinic after another turned the mother-to-be away. When the fourth clinic finally opened its doors to her, it was too late.

Fofana is one of many pregnant women to be lost to the Ebola panic that has gripped Liberia. Health workers and hospitals are turning away patients, leaving pregnant women at greater risk of miscarriages and death. Throughout the villages, families tell stories of loved ones who have died from malaria, diabetes and other treatable diseases.

“The epidemic is having a chilling effect on the overall health care delivery,” said Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf. “Out of panic thing of being infected with the disease, health care practitioners are afraid to accept new patients, especially in community clinics all across the country."
