Ebola toll hits Sierra Leone health system hard
In Kenema and across Sierra Leone Ebola devastates already fragile care. Dr Sheik Humarr Khan dies after guiding frontline efforts, joining others like Modupeh Cole as senior doctors fall. WHO records show high infection and death among medical staff, worsening shortages and patient neglect. Health systems crippled by poverty, weak infrastructure, and strikes for hazard pay exacerbate malaria and cholera risks.
