Fria: a second case of death due to Ebola virus

All indications are that the prefecture of Fria, located 160 km from the Guinean capital (Conakry), New Year's wishes are not yet fulfilled because the friakas woke up under the new year with a death due to ebola hemorrhagic virus.

Indeed, the second victim residing in Katouroun district mosque sector 4 passed away on the night of 31/12/2014 at the prefectural hospital was listed among the 109 contacts of the first victim deceased on 12.15.2014 , do we learned from medical sources.

The prefectural health director of the Prefecture of Fria, Doctor Amadou Barry, talks about the circumstances: "This is the first case that has shown signs after 17 days of observation and as soon as the first symptoms appeared,, the family hid the patient because our municipal agent who travels daily to the contact to monitor her health has on several occasions been upheld by the argument, "she went into the bush to look for coal. Taken by this information, team prefectural Board of Health conducted an investigation but in vain. Vigilant citizens who noticed a woman "contact" with symptoms have directly informed the only local radio station La Voix De Fria (VDF). Hadja Gnal?n Cond?, prefect of the city of Fria intimated us to provide much more effort to recover as quickly as possible the woman contact. We contacted the district manager and in person, he visited the family to inquire about the realities on the absence of the suspected case but received the same argument she went in the bush in search of coal. So we commissioned the co-wife and our community worker to find the woman and they returned empty-handed, it is to the amazement of the team of DPS that we found the contact hidden somewhere in the house "

On the question about the management of the contact after her identification and her transfer to the isolation center of the district hospital, the DPS says, "she was waiting for the ambulance which had to leave Boffa to drive her to the treatment center in Coyah and unfortunately she passed away, we proceeded to the collection of sample and we appealed to the Red Cross in Dubr?ka to conduct disinfection and safe burial because the Red Cross prefectural is not trained to manage a case of death Ebola virus. "

This case of death due to Ebola is adding to the number in Guinea and fueling distrust among the population of Fria and surrounding areas.

Note also that despite the awareness campaigns around the presence of Ebola virus in Guinea and its consequences, some people have trouble believing in its existence and others hide patients or people who had contact with patients ignoring they condemn themselves.
