Six-day-old Benedicte’s mother died during childbirth
A NEWBORN baby who was diagnosed with Ebola when she was a week old has survived.
The baby, who has been named Benedicte, survived her mother who was infected with the virus and died during childbirth.
A spokeswoman for the Democratic Republic of Congo health ministry told the BBC: "Her father, Thomas, was very emotional… she is his first baby.”
Baby Benedicte’s survival is being praised as a miracle because of the low survival rates among babies and children infected with the deadly virus. Around 50 per cent of adults who contract the illness die.
