Sierra Leone Ebola survivors protest over medical treatment

Survivors of Ebola have held  protests across Sierra Leone over what they believe is lack of government care. 

They say some people have died because they have not received proper medical treatment.  

Some women whose husbands died from Ebola say the government has not provided them with the support it promised, meaning their children cannot go to school. 

There has been no response so far from the authorities. 

Head of Sierra Leone Association of Ebola Survivors, Yusuf Kabbah said Ebola survivors have been abandoned with no clear recovery plan for them.  

Nearly four thousand people died from Ebola in the recent outbreak in Sierra Leone where more than 10 thousand people are believed to have survived.
