Life after Ebola: The survivors facing health problems and grief

Many patients who overcame Ebola following the
2014 outbreak are now facing physical and
mental health problems, according to survivors
groups in Sierra Leone.
More than 28,000 cases of Ebola have been
reported since the first confirmed case in March
2014 and around 17,000 of those survived.
The medical charity Medicines Sans Frontier
says up to 80% are suffering with post Ebola
complications such as joint pains and fatigue.
