Norwegian woman can get the last dose of Ebola medicine in the world
oct 7 2014
The Norwegian woman who is infected with Ebola, you get the last dose of medication ZMapp available in the world. This was stated by the Norwegian equivalent of the National Board of Health, Legemiddelverket.
- It looks like we can get the last available dose of ZMapp to Norway. The drug is now in Canada, says Steinar Madsen, vice president of medical Legemiddelverket, the day medisin.
According to the magazine has given Legemiddelverket Oslo University Hospital permission to import Ebola drugs that are not approved in Norway.
- When there are patients who are in urgent need of medicine, we allowed to import drugs that are not approved, says Steinar Madsen.
There are also other types of Ebola drugs that are on the way to Norway. Avigan come to Norway during the day, while TKM-Ebola come to the country tomorrow.
Nothing, however, could well indicate that the Norwegian authorities have most scam ZMapp.
- Of those who have been ZMapp, the majority survived. There is also a person who has survived with TKM-Ebola, but the medication is only used on a few individuals, says Steinar Madsen.
- The Norway is assigned the last dose ZMapp is said to be lucky. There is no more doses in the world, and it takes a long time to produce, he said
The plane with the Ebola-infected Norwegian woman landed at Gardermoen Airport in Oslo shortly after 12 o'clock today.
The infected Norwegian woman worked for MSF in Sierra Leone's second largest city, Bo, and was Sunday diagnosed with Ebola.
It is still unclear how the woman was infected, and it must MSF is now investigating. For example, it must be determined whether the woman may have been infected while she took his safety suit by or on.
Re: Norway - MSF worker with Ebola treated in Oslo
The case of the Liberian in the US has been told there is no more Zmapp. This will be fuel to the fire that he is not getting equivalent treatment because he is black and Liberian.

I was wondering about that myself. However, it could be that they are reserving Zmapp for health care workers- whoever "they" are- I suppose the company who makes it decides.
Apparently the Zmapp going to Norway is from Canada, not the US. So it could be the truth : no more Zmapp in the US.
The PBS program on Ebola this week showed how difficult it is to make even a few doses of Zmapp, so it's reasonable to expect that every several weeks there could be a few doses produced - I believe his 1st batch of plants produced 10 doses.

Re: Norway - MSF worker with Ebola treated in Oslo
Apparently the PBS link doesn't allow us to view the program, so here is a story about how the Zmapp is made, by injecting antibodies from mice into a tobacco plant, then extracting amplified antibodies from the plant, etc.:

TORONTO -- The Public Health Agency of Canada gave health officials in Spain and Norway a ZMapp-like drug to treat two health-care workers infected with Ebola, the agency confirmed Tuesday.
The National Microbiology Laboratory in Winnipeg sent Spain and Norway one treatment course each of ZMab, a monoclonal antibody cocktail developed at the lab.

"Canada has a limited amount of experimental treatment remaining available at this time. All remaining inventory will be kept in Canada for research purposes or for compassionate use by Canadians as needed."
According to Norwegian daily Aftenposten, 23 of these specially trained nurses and two doctors take care of the Norwegian aid worker who has been infected with Ebola in Sierra Leone.

Kvale also adds that they wanted the team should consist of as few people as possible.
