One month ago a massive explosion rocked the lebanese capital beirut killing more than 100. 00 people and injuring many more of the city is still reeling from the destruction the effects are particularly hard on children who can develop long term problems if their trauma is not treated soon enough. Dip is resin simon met the family of one girl who was still suffering from the aftershocks. Yet it is just 4 years old but shes suffering from posttraumatic stress despite her apparent good mood shes easily triggered. Today for example we wanted to go to hospital for her treatment but we couldnt because she was too scared when we drive she sees broken glass everywhere back memories and she gets scared when she sleeps she sometimes wakes up with a start when she hears a noise or something when she sleeps alone she screams we try to calm her down.

Is too early to tell with jada but at least then my downy says there is reason for hope. But we also know that children are better so with group of kids and with profit intervention most of the children hopefully will overcome this this trauma and will not develop.

Hes done doesnt want to be one of the many young girls in malawi who get married before the age of 20 and she has lain tabi to listen and hopes to bring her dreams but to life. Well lets speak to the need to make in this from the International Federation of obstetricians and gynecologists thanks for joining us what do we know about the impact of 19 is having on unwanted pregnancies. So then i mean this is a very serious situation the prediction is that about Something Like 48000000 women wont have access to contraceptive methods and this could lead to something between 7 and 15000000 unintended pregnancies low why so you can imagine this will create a huge. Health systems. Across the world and an increasing number of unsafe abortions that show this isnt unprecedented there is it to mean youve been researching the effect of the voter outbreak in parts of africa or on Family Planning one of you learned from looking at that outbreak that we can apply now so when we look at what happened in west africa during the every african during the every academic. People start accessing this isnt what they considered to be nonessential and so and hundreds of clinic appointments went down for example in guinea by about 2 thirds take a Family Planning methods also went down by about 230 eastern the epidemic and then similarly and nigeria by how off by 50 percent. In sierra leone by about a quarter and so the impact of that in the long run was then very very serious and what about in the case of coronavirus looking beyond africa where there are already problems but what about in higher Income Countries of the lower Income Countries around the world. Yes similarly our expectations over what has been happening what weve been hearing on the great fire really is that. Women are trying not to access to Health Services that they can i consider not essential and so the uptake of contraceptive methods is has gone down the other thing that happened in high Income Countries is that there was for example in the u. K. A shift stuff and closing down services and active service is all services that were considered not essential like Sexual Health so Sexual Health clinic placed as a vest off and go work on the kind of it was and g. P. s not seeing people face to face doing 10 minutes in consultations limited really womens access to contraception and so we will be seeing the fallout of that no doubt 9 months from now and were talking about millions potentially of extra births as a result of this a you know a noticeable increase in the global population. Yes so so the estimation is between 7 to 15000000 and 10 extra unintended pregnancies both wind and obviously Different Countries different proportions but in in countries with Health Systems that struggle to cope with the work that they have at the moment then that is very serious and it will set his back in terms of the progress that has been made and we look at Sustainable Development goals and the improvements in Health Benefit that have been seen in Womens Health and enjoying the millennium Development Goals who are going back in time with that so really really worrying is there anything being done to avoid that or at least to to mitigate it. Yeah so so you feel guilty and i wish and i work full weve been working very hard put together a conception committee put together a statement looking at specific things that could be done to try to mitigate this. One of the ideas for example this is which will continue to use for example women coming to give birth generally who continue to come to hospital to get beth and although thats not true all over the globe ascending in many countries that will continue to happen said that these women should then be able to Access Services that they wouldnt be wouldnt want to use legs as a contraception they may think that actually we should be printing contraception contraception says this into a Maternal Health and so lady comes to have a baby people told her hair about will contraceptive method she she wants and she gets that method before she leaves hospital and if you use a long lasting meth like that post pot you trying to devise if you coil or implant then youre looking at having contraception for 3 to 5 to even 10 years and so there isnt any to keep coming back to Hospital Clinics so in that sense you know really safe and a golden opportunity to offer this health said is that otherwise theyre finding hard to access and i suppose its to some extent about making the most of those encounters with these women when they do encounter Health Care Workers need to make ins from the International Federation of obstetricians and gynecologists thanks a lot for joining us thank you. And now its time for one of your questions to ask science correspondent Derek Williams this one comes from a you tube user calling themselves martian leda one presumably watching us from afar. When will not ask to no longer be needed. This largely theoretical question i think is worth thinking about even though there is no end in sight to the pandemic the issue of Wearing Masks has polarized people in some countries at least partly due to the fact that despite a huge amount of study in the field nobody has been able to pin down a concrete number on just how much they actually help and and how could studies reflect the real world anyway i mean were all wearing different kinds of masks often haphazardly either up biting by or not abiding by a lot of Different National rules there does however now seem to be a general acceptance by the majority in most places that men help at least some if theyre worn properly and in societies like here in germany where widescale mask wearing was was unthinkable just 6 months ago theyre now just a part of a daily life when you go to the store when you get on public transport the thing is after working so hard to get people to accept i think that governments will be slow to say that masks are no longer needed at some point in other words theres no way to tell how long well need to wear them theres theres just predicting what has to happen before governments are willing to relax guidelines and my hunch is that at this point most governments wont be willing to do that until safe and effective vaccine start keeping infection rates under control i personally predicts that well still be Wearing Masks in. At least in some settings until that least the middle of 2021 of course thats one of these cases where id be really happy if my prediction proved wrong. As a science correspondent Eric Williams if you want to submit a question for him you can do so through our you tube channel thats all from us about.
