This Friday, September 5, 2014, the technical teams of the Department of Health and Public Hygiene, were on foot at work to carry out investigations on patients and a deceased person all with suspected to be infected by the disease Ebola virus. The analysis of the sample gave negative results.
Among the various suspects, a woman from the village of Baboto, admitted to CSRef of Sitakili, rural town of the same name, circle K?ni?ba.
The patient has been declared by the village chief of Baboto to the physician of the mining company Randgold in the person of Dr. Mama Kanta . After examination by the medical team, it turned out that the lady was suffering from high blood pressure for which she is currently being supported.
Another suspected case: a young woman, evacuated of Sanankoroba for the Hospital of Mali. Following the examination, it turned out that this patient had a crisis similar to diabetes . The third case, a white traveler from Guinea was admitted since 48 hours at the Point G CHU where he sadly passed away two days ago.
The examination of swabs from his body by the advanced laboratory Serefo have tested negative for the disease Ebola. In total, all three suspects were tested negative. Moreover, Mali has recorded no cases of Ebola at the moment. Faced with rumors often circulating here and there, health officials reassured the public that the predisposed technical teams will not neglect any detail that might disrupt the response strategy against the menace. Better, the community involvement is welcomed in the fight against Ebola.
For the department of health, "a false alarm is better than a bad surprise." That's why each alert, serious or not, is the subject of an examination in the laboratory. This to avoid that any detail underestimated can not remain detrimental to a prevention that works well....
