FINAL MOMENTS "Spirit of sickness move out of her in Jesus name...Come alive now. Come alive.” -Sheku Michael Kallon, stepfather Adama Sannoh’s stepfather prays and tries to give her fluids; moments later, she passed away. Adama was diagnosed with preeclampsia and arrived having convulsions. Her grieving mother later whispered, "Oh my darling goodbye." Sierra Leone has the highest rate of maternal mortality in the world: one in eight women die in childbirth, compared with one in 4,800 in the United States and one in 48,000 in Ireland, according to the UN. Many deaths could be preventable with basic medical care, which is often absent after a decade of civil war that decimated an already fragile infrastructure. It is a silent killer, veiled from world concern. Poverty, cultural influences and chronic deprivation contribute to the issue.
