Black puts a human and profoundly humane face on what it's like to be a doctor, working in teams in which problem-solving can often only be done on the fly.

The WHO ignored local learning and produced guidelines for the Ministry of Health that directly undermined the management of pregnant women post-Ebola, and failed again to listen when frontline MSF doctors voiced their concerns.Belly Woman has been described by Adam Kay, the former doctor and best-selling author of This Is Going to Hurt, as: ‘Moving, kind, eye-opening, terrifying and inspirational. org/rewards/","howto_redeem_expired":"Renew to Learn More","howto_redeem_expired_link":"https://appsec.
