Salome Karwah information

Salomé Karwah (c. 1988 – 21 February 2017) was a Liberian nurse who was named co-Person of the Year by Time magazine in 2014 for her efforts to combat the West African Ebola virus epidemic.^[1]^[2] She appeared on the cover of Time in December 2014 with other health care workers and colleagues working to end the epidemic.^[1] Karwah survived ebola herself, before returning to work with Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders) to help other patients afflicted with the disease.^[1] The actions of Karwah and other health care professionals are believed to have saved lives of thousands.^[1] However, two years later, Karwah died from complications of childbirth; her widower suggested that this might have been due to the widespread, mistaken belief that ebola survivors can still transmit the virus.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5] Even before the ebola outbreak, Liberia had one of the highest rates of maternal mortality in the world.^[1]
