How much do you know about Zika?
Zika hit the headlines in 2015 as the newest tropical borne viral infection. While adults don’t usually suffer severe complications, the implications for pregnant women and their newborn babies are life-changing.
Although the news focus on Zika has subsided, many thousands of families are still affected – so how much do you actually know about Zika?
Test your knowledge with Medical Aid Films Patron and LSHTM’s Professor James Logan:
Film: Hope After Zika
Medical Aid Films has also been proud to work in partnership with London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) to produce a short film, Hope After Zika.
The film documents how the communities affected by congenital Zika syndrome have come together to learn from and support each other in the years since the outbreak.
A story of love and friendship, this short documentary explores how communities can work together to bring up happy and healthy children under the most challenging of circumstances.
Available in English, Spanish and Portuguese.
