This investigation provides context to high maternal mortality rates in Sierra Leone. We focus in particular on fragile health systems and the societal challenges that new and expectant mothers face. Working with local collaborators, we tell the story of what these women have lost, who’s to blame and why it matters. This is a European Journalism Centre funded project.
