In Guinea, the country most affected by the current outbreak of Ebola,
the record stands at 286 confirmed cases including 182 deaths, until
June 27, despite efforts by the Guinean government and health partners
whose WHO and Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) said Saturday the Guinean
Minister of Health, Remy Lamah.
Since the appearance of this malaidie in Guinea there about six months,
84 patients were grueries, while there were 89 probable cases and 86
suspected cases including 27 deaths.
Thanks to the synergy of action between partners fight against Ebola,
five prefectures (Dabola Dinguiraye, Macentra, Kissidougou and
Kouroussa) have not recorded new cases this week, welcomed Dr. Lamah.
However, in some foci of the epidemic, such as Guékédou Prefecture
(south), the number of deaths increases with 60% mortality, said Marc
Poncin, Ebola national emergency coordinator for MSF.
In this border town, 30% of inpatients come from villages in Sierra Leone.
MSF has provided about $ 3 million to meet expenses related to the
response against Ebola in Guinea and a processing center located in
Sierra Leone.
"We must organize and mobilize much funding in the fight against this
epidemic that made many victims in the populations of the affected
countries," said Mr. Poncin.
According Sakoba Keita, Division prevention and fight against the
disease, 27 health workers were affected and 20 of them lost their
lives.
It is for this reason that the transport and management of corpses
Ebola people are now assigned exclusively to specialized teams of the
Guinean Red Cross trained and equipped.
To raise awareness, the government has funded a dozen NGOs that develop
communication strategies to close by going door to door in order to
reach a larger target and break the barrier of distrust and reluctance. End http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=auto&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Ffrench.china.org.cn%2Fforeign%2Ftxt%2F2014-06%2F29%2Fcontent_32803163.htm
