On the front line of world’s forgotten health crisis
Médecins Sans Frontières doctor Rupa Narra discusses the children caught up in the Ebola crisis and what happens when the world retreats from helping contain it.
In an ebola treatment centre in eastern Congo, young children are being cared for by people in protective suits – isolated from the love and comfort of their families, who can only watch on from a window.
For paediatrician Rupa Narra, it was unlike anything she’d experienced in 16 years working in global health.
Some of her patients were too young to understand why their parents couldn’t hold them in what would be their final hours.
And as health workers confront the outbreak, the international support they once relied on has been stripped away.
