answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/10/2014 answer text <p>There is significant potential for women and girls to be more at risk as victims of the outbreak. Women are the primary health care providers for their families and communities, form the bulk of healthcare workers in hospitals as nurses and cleaners, and are often responsible for handling female bodies for burial which brings them into direct contact with the disease. In addition, given that pregnant women are more likely to have contact with health services, they experience greater exposure to infections in health facilities.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Northover question first answered 20/10/2014 16:30:29 answering member 2539 label Biography information for Baroness Northover
