Ebola four victims in Mali, people are worried

...
Also according to the World Health Organization, four probable or confirmed cases of Ebola causing death, were counted in Mali. One of the victims had visited the Imam during his hospitalization.

A doctor at the Pasteur clinic where the nurse worked, could also have contracted the disease.
...
On the second day of the crisis, the management of persons placed under observation goes well according to the president of the Pasteur Clinic. Dr. Ben Baba Arwata also denies rumors on the flight of persons quarantined.
He was joined by Sekou Gadijigo.

"Since our appeal to the government, we felt that the provisions come more easily. We put back the kitchen to work in order to be able to feed our patients regularly internally. What we need today is assistance from the Ministry of Health to allow us to have additional staff because some of the staff who panicked did not come to work. We need the assistance of the Ministry to secure our people through effective means. The staff who had the courage to come to work. I also want to confirm that there was no leakage of patients, and it is technically impossible because it is quarantine. So I categorically denies any patient has fled the clinic. "

The nurse at the clinic who died at Pasteur was domiciled in Daoudabougou, commune V of Bamako district. The deputy for the district has made a visit this morning in some health facilities in the municipality. For him, "the situation is far from reassuring." For the deputy Amadou Thiam, there is a severe lack of protective equipment for health workers. Issa Fakaba Sissoko met him.

"We found a real deficiency in protective suits for health workers. I think this statement is quite general even at the community health centers, but also at other referral centers in the capital. Pistols, which are used for temperature measurement, missing a lot. We also do not have much insurance relative to the quarantine of the victims' families, because we do not know so far if the family of the deceased in Douadabougou is actually quarantine. There is a blur around it. We also believe that the commune V risk of being a large source of this epidemic if measures are not taken in time. "

Ebola in Mali: Government accused of withholding information from

Faced with the rise of concern about the discovery of new cases of Ebola, the government is suspected of not delivering all the information.

After the second Malian death caused by the Ebola virus, the questions begin to abound on the effectiveness of measures taken by the authorities to prevent the spread of dangerous viruses in the country.
Indeed, the fiasco that is the history of the second case does not reassure anyone. It is especially worrying that the contamination of the deceased, a young nurse, was caused by a patient came from Guinea who was hospitalized in the clinic where the young Malian worked. This Guinean died ten days before his caregiver. Between the input of Mali and Guinea the day after the death of the young nurse, fifteen days have passed without any authority triggers the alert.
Neither the health personnel of the clinic, nor the government, no one doubted the presence of Ebola virus on Malian soil.
The government would try to hide it the shortcomings of the system of prevention?

There was a time, October 29, Le Point Africa, the continent's version of the French magazine had carried a story in the border area between Mali and Guinea. Our colleagues constataient that when away from the axis Bamako Conakry, going to Koul?mal? "border soon becomes a sieve."
In a town near Kour?mal?, a man confided to the point that Africa is working on panning for gold side Guinea before returning to his family in Mali, but it ensures that the inspections took place only on the axis Bamako Conakry.

"Here, there is nobody to check our temperature. Every week I go to work on panning for gold to Siguiri to feed my family. No problem for me, "he had said.
​

These flaws, the government would not they know. Why, under the pretext of avoiding psychosis, he keep quiet some information to journalists. "We want to avoid psychosis," argues near the Malian Ministry of Health.
The Point and Africa, which obviously wanted a new authorization, states that "in recent weeks, the ministries of communication and health no longer were issuing permission for reporters to produce subjects Kour?mal?. "
The Government provides little on the Ebola virus. Proof, since Monday, only one official release is out of the Ministry of Health. Meanwhile, Mali, Bamako in particular, lives on rumors. Rumors that happen to be the best means to create psychosis.:tiphat:https://translate.google.com/transl...vit-en-etat-de-siege-face-a-ebola/&edit-text=

Mali: The main shareholder of the Pasteur Clinic, Dr. Ben Baba: "We are seeking the support of the state for the management of patients" "We are the victims: Two doctors are in isolation"

Following the death from disease Ebola a nurse trainee Polyclinic Pasteur virus, on the evening of Tuesday, November 11, the principal shareholder of the institution reference Dr. Ben Baba, better known by the sobriquet of Alwata, cardiologist by profession, hosted a press conference at the Hotel Salam.

It was in the afternoon yesterday at the Hotel Salam. The Ministry of Health and WHO, which were due to him, are left invisible. Fortunately, his wife was there to accompany and support.
According to the narration of the facts by Dr. Ben Baba, trainee nurse died in his clinic called Salifou Diarra. Since then, the clinic is put under quarantine and monitored by security forces, including MINUSMA, which also has patients in the lot.
"A preliminary assessment has been made. An epidemiological investigation is ongoing. It will include many things. Meanwhile, it must be said that the Guinean patient Ko?ta Umar, 65, came to consultation on October 25 (Saturday) between 21 h and 22 h. He was admitted to the emergency. The attending physician, Dr. Doumbia, has examined and hospitalized.
I do not have yet not seen the file, but according to information I have been given, the patient suffered from pneumonia. Two days later, on October 27, he had complications. He died. The body was returned to his family in Daoudabougou, which then went according to our information, to make the funeral Kour?mal?.
It was only well after the team from the Ministry of Health has informed us that the patient who died was a suspect Ebola cases. Immediately, the process of monitoring and prevention began: hand washing, taking the temperature at the entrance to Shepherd. This is not all. All those who have had contact with the old were listed and the Department of Health all addresses.
Saturday, November 8, the nurse trainee Salifou Diarra appeared at the clinic. He was hospitalized and isolated in a room, not without alerting the team of Prof. Sow in charge of the fight against Ebola epidemic. On Sunday, there were samples. The result of that would fall a few hours later, we were contacted forty-eight hours later, that is to say, two days after the death of the patient. (Note: this is called the doctor after death).
WHO, MSF, CDC and the team of Prof. Sow are now disinfecting the rooms. The clinic is quarantined. There are 35 patients hospitalized, 22 of MINUSMA. We have problems to feed them, to give them something to drink, because we do not have access to the clinic.
It is difficult that we could send them to eat through the security forces. Patients who are not doctors or nurses have to care for them. We want the support of the state for the care of these patients or their transfer, "said Dr. Ben Baba to the press. Before adding that he was in contact with the Prime Minister and the Ministry of Health.
He found that his normal clinic is closed for 21 days. During this period, there will be no consultation or hospitalization. Following questions from reporters, the speaker will argue that this case of Ebola was imported from Guinea, as the nurse trainee has been in contact with the old Ko?ta, who was imam Kour?mal?. It also says that three nurses fled the Pasteur Clinic after the death of Salifou Diarrra, along with three other patients.
As for Dr. Doumbia, who examined the Guinean, it is under surveillance, while his colleague who was in charge of the nursing student, Dr. Djoumand? is declared suspect. What did tell Dr. Ben Baba "we are victims".
Finally, he insisted that the state should help them to manage patients through trained and equipped personnel. He also invited each other to observe strict hygiene rules on the matter. :tiphat: https://translate.google.com/transl...vit-en-etat-de-siege-face-a-ebola/&edit-text=

At least four more suspected Ebola deaths have occurred, all linked to an imam who entered Mali from neighboring Guinea and died late last month with Ebola-like symptoms that were not recognized.

Health Ministry spokesman Marakatie Dow said that a woman who had helped wash the imam's body died on Thursday at Bamako's Gabriel Toure Hospital.

Dow said an initial Ebola test result for the woman was positive, making her the fourth clinically confirmed Malian case, although further analysis would be carried out abroad.

"There are 200 contacts if we add those linked to the case of the woman yesterday," Dow told Reuters.

"This is not just one case," says Tom Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. "It's a cluster." He's talking about the Ebola situation in Mali, where two people have likely died of the disease in Bamako, the capital, and two others have tested positive.

"This is very deeply concerning," says Frieden. The CDC is sending additional staff to help respond to the outbreak.
...
Frieden says the risk of this cluster turning into a major outbreak is high.

"There will be hundreds of contacts who need to be traced. Every single one needs to be contacted every day. If anyone dies, they need to be safely buried."

Frieden says the CDC may introduce exit screening at the Bamako airport and the U.S. may consider new entry requirements for travelers arriving from the landlocked nation.

Daou said an initial Ebola test result for the woman was positive, making her the fourth clinically confirmed Malian case, although further analysis would be carried out abroad.

Mali's government said on Friday afternoon 256 contacts had been identified and would be monitored.

A spokeswoman for the World Health Organisation said the number of contacts that needed monitoring had risen to 343 by Friday evening, underscoring the scale of the task health workers have in containing the second wave of cases.

Reuters journalists outside the Nenecarre mosque in Bamako's Djikoroni Para neighbourhood, where the imam's body was washed, said four health workers in protective gear entered the mosque to disinfect it but no effort was made to stop people from entering for Friday prayers.

Cases are being traced in a number of locations across Bamako and on the porous border with Guinea.

These included the Pasteur Clinic, which treated the imam but has since been quarantined. It is not connected to the Institut Pasteur, a French-based institute specialising in infectious diseases.

Posted by Staff on November 14, 2014
As of November 12, 2014, the World Health Organization reported a cluster of three Ebola cases in Bamako, Mali. The cluster in Bamako is linked to a man who had been in a clinic in Bamako after becoming sick in Guinea. Since that time, a small number of Ebola cases linked to this patient have been reported in Bamako...
..This has prompted the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to issue a travel alert to notify travelers that a few Ebola cases have been reported in Bamako, Mali, and to inform them of actions they can take to reduce their risk of getting the disease.
CDC recommends that travelers to Mali protect themselves by avoiding contact with the blood and body fluids of people who are sick, because of the possibility they may be sick with Ebola. Although a cluster of cases has been reported only in Bamako, travelers to all parts of Mali should be alert for reports of possible further spread within the country....:tiphat:http://outbreaknewstoday.com/cdc-issues-travel-alert-for-mali-over-ebola-cluster-76990/
