C?te d'Ivoire: Fever Ebola, a "lack of consistency" in the government's measures (FPI)
"(...) Wild strains of Ebola virus have been detected in our country and especially in the perimeter of the park Tai (South-west). Specialists baptize the Ebola Ivory Coast (...) the evidence is not yet made it is virulent, "said the vice president of REIT Dr. Alphonse Douaty, also former minister of livestock and fisheries.
Speaking on the theme "analysis and proposals of the REIT for preventive management of the outbreak of Ebola fever in C?te d'Ivoire," Dr. Douaty noted that the preventive measures taken by the government "in addition to lacking consistency are late and do not reassure. "
To believe the vice-chairman of the FPI government "is merely a shell package (...) two months after the discovery of the first case in neighboring Guinea."
For him, these measures were also taken without a formal institutional framework based on an overall strategy, identifying human, material and financial resources.
Following a cabinet meeting held Wednesday, the Ivorian government announced that no case of Ebola has so far been detected in C?te d'Ivoire.
In the aftermath, the Ivorian authorities urged people to avoid the consumption of rodents and handling of certain animals such as agouti and porcupine.
The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), which brings together 15 countries of the subregion, request assistance from the international community to fight against an epidemic hemorrhagic fever, which has already been 77 deaths in recent weeks including Guinea and Liberia.
The Board of Mediation and Security of ECOWAS "appeals to the international community to provide support in the management of the Ebola epidemic in the region," according to a message sent Friday to the press release at the 44th ordinary summit of the sub-regional organization.
This body, said he was "deeply concerned" by the epidemic hemorrhagic fever, called the latter "serious threat to regional security" and "evil" whose management requires "a regional response.:tiphat:"http://www.afriscoop.net/journal/spip.php?article10211
