Ebola: 5 confirmed cases with 2 deaths and 186 contacts in Kamsar!

Posted by Guineematin May 21, 2015 At 13 h 56 min

As is known, the Kamsar sub-prefecture (prefecture Boke) is currently facing severe Ebola disease. Until yesterday, Wednesday, May 20, 2015, there were a total of five (5) confirmed cases of Ebola including two deaths and one hundred and eighty six (186) contacts, learned Guineematin.com, through its local correspondent .

According to Mr Jacques Andrea, in charge of disaster management to the account of the Red Cross Boke, who agreed to talk to Guineematin.com, the three (3) patients alive are currently at the Ebola treatment center of Donka, he told us. "We have five (5) cases confirmed in Kamsar, including two deaths and one hundred and eighty six (186) cases contact. The three cases alive are in CTE Donka. The last was reported this evening in Kayenguissa "he has told the correspondent of Guineematin.com in Boke last night.

Unfortunately, we learn that the Red Cross responsible for the evacuation of patients and suspected cases and secure funerals lacks of logistics: "There are only two ambulances for the entire administrative region of Boke. When there are patients or samples to bring, the fuel problem often arises, "lamented Mr Jacques Andrea.

However, Jacques Andrea hopes these problems resolved quickly, as Dr Sakoba Keita, the national coordinator of the fight against Ebola, identified all these difficulties and promised to find immediate solutions.

As for the WFP (World Food Programme), they found a place in Kamsar to store food for the contacts and the victims families.

Regarding the coordination of actions against the epidemic on the ground, officials of the World Health Organization, M?decins sans Fronti?res, UNICEF, the World Food Programme, the Red Cross, Regional Health Directorate, the prefectural health department, meet every morning and evening, to learn from and take action.

But the fight against Ebola agents often face acts of reluctance of some people ...

Forecariah: the policeman whose body was found in a taxi died of Ebola!

Posted by Guineematin May 22, 2015 At 15 h 11 min

The laboratory analysis confirmed that the policeman whose lifeless body was found in a taxi bound for Maf?rinyah in Forecariah prefecture is effectively dead Ebola, learned Guineemation.com a colleague based in the prefecture.

The prefectural correspondent Guinean Press Agency in Forecariah, Moussa Toure, just told Guineemation.com (2:30 p.m. ') that the analytical laboratory has confirmed a case of Ebola for the policeman Mohamed Lamine SOUMAH whose lifeless body was found by the Prefecture security services in a taxi bound for Maf?rinyah, Wednesday 20th, when it was late night.
As a practical and urgent provision, the prefecture health authorities decided to confine 7 people (who were carrying the corpse at a late hour in the sub-prefecture of Maf?rinyah) in quarantine for a period of 21 days.

Gendarmerie For?cariah clarified that this regretted gendarme transited to a traditional healer in the area for a few days. But our colleague noted on the phone to Guineematin.com that currently the specialist of indigenous peoples has not yet been identified by the competent authorities. As if to say that the risk of spread of this disease to exponential growth is very high when we know that traditional healers are subject of much interest by the population.

Yet, national coordination response against Ebola in 20 villages of Forecariah has recently launched a major rural communities containment campaign for 21 days. Point has to tell when the system set up for the needs of the cause is ineffective.

Ebola cadavers concealed, spread disease on public transit in Guinea

'Regrettable' some families dressing up cadavers, police say

The Associated Press Posted: May 22, 2015 3:59 PM ET Last Updated: May 22, 2015 3:59 PM ET

The Ebola epidemic began in Guinea and, instead of being snuffed out as officials had hoped, at least 27 new cases have occurred in a week's time, marking a significant spike.

Bodies of Ebola victims are highly contagious, yet the health recommendations to not touch bodies at funerals go against hundreds of years of tradition here. Family members still want to give their loved ones traditional burials to prepare their souls for the afterlife, and some even try to transport the bodies to their home villages if they died elsewhere.

"It is regrettable that some families with the help of transport providers are dressing up cadavers and seating them upright between other passengers in a taxi as though the person is still living when in fact it's sometimes the body of someone who has died from Ebola," said police Capt. Claude Onivogui. "Every day we are finding bodies in these conditions, and that's what is spreading the contagion."

Ebola: 233 contacts in Kamsar, according to the local coordinator of the fight against Ebola

For nearly a month, the industrial city of Kamsar has become the new home of the Ebola hemorrhagic disease and this has caused a divergence of views on the existence of the disease and the cause of the deaths recorded during the crisis period. To light the lanterns, your site information guineenews.org stretched his microphone to Dr. Facinet Yattara, prefectural coordinator of the fight against Ebola in Boke.

Guineenews: What is your date of coming into operation and what is your area of intervention?

Doctor Yattara: My taking office was confirmed May 13, 2015 and cumulatively, I am the prefectural coordinator of the fight against Ebola in Boke and Boffa but I only took office on 14 by Kamsar with the establishment of based intervention called Ebola coordination and all the partners that are present in this framework.

Guineenews: What is the state of play in Kamsar, new outbreak of Ebola virus?

Yattara Doctor: Yes, Kamsar is the new home and unfortunately that opened there less than a month ago. It all started with the death of a person 30 April 2015 and this person was buried in the neighborhood of Filima but it turns out that the person had died of Ebola but people did not know. It's a week after we started to have patients getting sick in the wake of the burial and today there are 7 people who have been infected by this patient and among these, there have been 3 deaths including one in the community of Filima and 2 people who died and had been transported to Conakry treatment center. 2 patients were discharged cured who are the wife and a brother of the patient.

Guineenews: What are the means available to eradicate Ebola in Kamsar?

Doctor Yattara: the World Health Organization (WHO) has established a number of provisions including a air-conditioned tent, an air-conditioned container equipped with offices of the prefectural coordinator and of the WHO team coordinator; Also, it has provided a generator of 22 KVA to feed the Kassapo health center (district Kamsar) and facilities. Finally, there is also a mobile laboratory that the state has negotiated with Canada for Kamsar and has been operational since yesterday. These resources allow us whenever we suspect a patient to do the collection, analysis, and when it is positive send it directly in care centers.

Guineenews: What are the statistics for these days?

Doctor Yattara: We have 8 cases including 7 confirmed positive including 2 came out healed and 1 probable because he is not tested yet and we have 233 contacts without counting the contacts of the new cases detected today.

Guineenews: Do you deal with cases of concealment?

Yattara Doctor: Yes, unfortunately there are cases reluctantly. Well, whatever may be said with all the awareness campaigns, people do not understand the gravity of the situation when a person is sick with Ebola, the best thing to do for him and for the community is to get him out of the community and send in a suitable treatment center called Ebola Treatment Centre (ETC) and for Boke, they are Coyah and Conakry.

Guineenews: did the sub-prefecture of Kamsar had international assistance?

Doctor Yattara: From the start of the epidemic in Kamsar, there has been a very strong mobilization of the national community, supported by the international community, it allowed us to mobilize a large set of human and logistical resources. In terms of human resources, we have a community of consultants and epidemiological staff from the World Health Organization (WHO) who came to strengthen management of the Ebola virus in Kamsar.

Guineenews: Tell us the film of the presence of Ebola virus in Kamsar

Yattara Doctor: That's what happened, there was a taxi driver who transported a patient in the night of 17 and 18 April 2015. A patient who hid from control so he was not monitored in Conakry and this often happens. He fell ill without going to the formal structures and made 2-3 days in a private clinic, as it was not working, he negotiated with the same driver to be carried to a traditional healer who is in Tifinda in Tougnifily (Boffa), but he died the next day. Secure funeral was held and the results of sampling were positive on April 20, 2015. So, the virus was transported by the driver who got sick on 23 April 2015 and went to the hospital only on the 28. So, it was almost towards the end of his illness. Sooner the patient is received in a treatment structure early enough, so we have the chance of cure as Ebola is very deadly. Following the death of that person of Ebola that we did not know, he was buried in the village and all the positive people tested were contaminated with this gentleman either during his illness, either during his funeral either while he was in the hospital of the National Agency for the Development of Mining Infrastructures (ANAIM) because there was one of the Ebola patients that was in the same period as him about 2 days that has been contaminated and was transferred directly to the treatment center but he is the last who died of Ebola.

Guineenews: What is your goal?

Doctor Yattara: Our short term goal is to contain the epidemic, to circumscribe it. Ensure it spreads not far from where it started that is to say, in the outskirts of Kamsar. Since Kamsar has a specific situation given the existence of the mine and expatriates, we intend to ensure that health facilities are equipped, equipped in terms of training and equipment to ensure that staff have the opportunity to protect facing any suspected case; Then, we intend to ensure that all the listed contacts are followed up for 21 days without them being isolated and finally, to ensure that all deaths during this period are reported to the authority and that the burial secured, that is to say a dignified burial and secured by the Red Cross. These are the three elements that we try to control because we have not yet managed to cut the chain because of the new case that is reported today (May 27, ed.)

Guineenews: A sign of hope for Kamsarkas.

Doctor Yattara: 2 patients sent to Ebola treatment centers are healed and and the provisions taken seem to me appropriate, control and hand washing at the gate and the back of the institutions of the sub-prefecture. If we can limit the movement of suspicious persons, if we manage to stop the transfer of corpses from one place to another, if we manage to secure all burials with the effort of the Red Cross, we will have the hope that the virus does not spread. We are a population that is willing to accompany us because today the existence of the virus is in the mind of everyone.
