Increase control with the aim to defeat Ebola in six months ...
To overcome this epidemic the Special Coordinator of the United Nations for the disease Ebola Virus, supports the need to increase quickly the "control work in two or three months in order to defeat this disease in six months' in all the countries of West Africa.
'You have to have a well-integrated response, well organized at the prefecture level, in the areas of health, nutrition, water, sanitation, logistics and is well coordinated between government departments with partners and all agencies of the United Nations. Must be increased quickly because right now, the response to the epidemic is not enough ', he has said.
How to defeat Ebola within six months?
'Because, if we have all the pieces in place to answer, we can stop transmission of the virus between people. We can end the disease. What is more important is to find people who are sick, their care and to interrupt transmission. It is a virus that is very strong, but it is not very transmissible as other diseases. If the transmission between people is cut, heal those who are sick, we can make the disease disappear ', he argues.
To meet this challenge, we must have a system of health practice that is well organized, with doctors and nurses who can do their job, says the coordinator. 'We work with experts from Doctors Without Borders in partnership with the Guinean government to bring answers as quickly as possible', he has announced.
'Yes' to assistance to Guinea, but we need greater coordination of the authorities ...
'We want to help Guinea in this response, the agencies of the United Nation (UNDP, WFP, UNICEF, World Bank) and other organizations, we are coordinated to give more assistance than we can find. But we want on the side of your country to have always greater coordination ', has he insisted before assuring:' Together we can act quickly and well. We say to the people of Guinea that the UN system is with you. Together we want to defeat Ebola as quickly as possible '.
Making an assessment of the evolution of the disease in Guinea David Nabarro noted that in the beginning 'the disease was high in Guinea, it declined, then it became strong, it has declined, and today it again begins to become strong, '' has he commented, deducing that 'it means that we need to be strong and continue without lowering the fight. We must be be sustainable in the monitoring of the struggle to overthrow the disease ''.
Two (2) to four (4) doses of ZMap who are ready ...
'There is some experimental drugs that are currently in laboratories, which are not well tested for use to defeat Ebola. We talked with pharmaceutical companies, whether it's 'ok' to use experimental drugs currently in the fight against the disease. They said 'ok', if people know that it is still experimental.
We talk a lot with pharmaceutical companies to encourage them to move faster to produce drugs, vaccines to give people who are very sick. Today the drug with which we try the ZMap, we only have 2-4 doses that are ready. We asked the companies but also the financial to move faster to produce the drug but also to do the work necessary to have the certificate that you can start using it. I would like these drugs to arrive as soon as possible. ', said David Nabarro.
