KI?TAN (TANDA): An epidemic makes deaths and hospitalized
Posted by: Zanzan News November 24, 2018 in HEALTH, HEALTH
3 deaths and several hospitalizations. This is the provisional record of the epidemic which has been declared for a few days in Ki?tan, a locality of the sub-prefecture of Tanda, about 5 kilometers from H?r?bo. The disease erupted as some of the country's hospital staff went on strike. This situation did not allow a reaction of the regional health structures, from the first cases of people affected by this seasonal sickness.
Last year, at the same time, the disease caused 8 deaths, according Y?boua Aboudramane (president of the youth of Ki?tan). The regional branch of the National Institute of Public Hygiene (INHP) Bondoukou had sent a team to the village. The resurgence of the epidemic in 2018 shows that the intervention was not effective. The patients are hospitalized in the health centers close to the locality: Tanda, H?r?bo and Tabagne.
Is it meningitis? This condition is very often characterized by headache, fever and stiff neck.
