post by Griffin Ondo Nzuey / April 16, 2020
The number of Covid-19 cured patients in Gabon is currently 6, but could soon reach around 20, due to the current state of health of the first cases treated since March, all of which would no longer show any symptoms. of the disease.
The next few days, if not the next few hours, could prove conclusive for the Gabonese health authorities, who no longer hide their satisfaction at the success of the three different therapeutic protocols tested since the registration of the first Covid-19 case in the country. They may soon announce new cases of healing in addition to the current 6, including the first Bitam patient declared healthy on Wednesday.
In recent weeks, in fact, the state of health of patients cared for in dedicated health facilities in Libreville, Akanda and Bitam has improved considerably. Even patients placed under medical surveillance some time ago "are doing better," informs the Steering Committee of the plan for monitoring and responding to the Coronavirus epidemic in Gabon (Copil Coronavirus).
To date, says Copil Coronavirus, "no more patient has no cough, fever, or difficulty breathing". Better still, "100% of those who presented with symptoms are in clinical recovery", specifies Guy Patrick Obiang Ndong, spokesperson for the Committee, who nevertheless said that he waited for the virological recovery of all these patients through regular checks.
Gabon, unlike some countries, has chosen virological healing as the criteria for healing for its coronavirus patients. The healing of a patient is declared on the sole basis of the negativity of his tests.
This Thursday, April 16, the country which recorded 7 new cases of contamination in the last 24 hours has a total of 87 people who were infected, including 6 recoveries and one death.
