Additional Information / Shotlist [TEXT OVERLAY] Some incurable diseases have far greater negative consequences in women and girls, especially during pregnancy. Only prevention through vaccination can save women, girls and their babies from harmful outcomes, and death.
[SPEAKER ID] Isabella Mayes, midwifery activity manager, MSF
0:08 – 0:14 So hepatitis E is an infection that mostly affects the liver,
0:14 - 0:18 and it's particularly dangerous in women and young girls.
0:19 – 0:22 It has a fatality rate of up to 25 per cent.
[SPEAKER ID] Regina Nyawal Bol Gai, midwife, MSF
0:23 – 0:26 People can die, based on the stage they came with.
0:27 – 0:32 Some people come in, in the last stage whereby you can't do anything,
0:32 – 0:34 when the kidney is already collapsed or damaged.
[TEXT OVERLAY] Some diseases need protecting against in the newborn as well as the mother. This includes tetanus, a serious disease of the nervous system.
0:42 – 0:47 So babies, especially in what we call the neonatal period, so in their first 28 days of life,
0:48 – 0:54 that is when they're most susceptible to death from certain diseases and infections.
0:54 – 1:01 So providing mothers with vaccinations, if we can provide the baby with some immunity through the placenta, through pregnancy,
1:02 – 1:07 it gives them a little bit of protection until they can receive their vaccine later in life.
[TEXT OVERLAY] Tetanus is also a significant health threat linked to sexual violence, as is life-limiting hepatitis B.
[SPEAKER ID] Renda Kella Dhol, clinical officer, MSF
1:11 – 1:19 We think that the tetanus vaccine is very important because during the act [of sexual violence] we do not know if the patient that have injuries,
1:19 - 1:22 actually will have injuries, and we are preventing any infection.
1:22 – 1:26 Maybe they expose the patient to it. That's why we provide the tetanus vaccine.
1:27 – 1:36 So hepatitis B is a sexually transmitted disease. That's why we provide hepatitis B [vaccine], to prevent the patient from being infected by hepatitis B.
