Ebola: a team from the African Union attacked in Lola
Saturday, January 24, 2015 10:34 Kaloum PRESS
A supervision team of experts from the African Union and the World Health Organization was attacked in Gu?asso in Lola prefecture, about 1000 km in the south of Guinea.
The National Coordination of response to Ebola that gives the information does not specify the reasons for this other attack on foreign medical workers involved in the fight against Ebola in Guinea. Our source does not say if there are injuries.
While the number of cases of Ebola has been steadily declining in Guinea, intervention teams still face resistance in some communities. At Our?kaba in Mamou area residents have destroyed the health kits shipped for school children, believing that these materials are intended to send the disease in their community. At Gbinkilin in Kindia, authorities are still struggling to establish a complete list of suspects following a positive Ebola death.
This reluctance may lead to regrettable situations as was the case in September, when outreach team was attacked in the sub-prefecture of Womey. Result: 8 dead.
According to a report by the National Response Coordination Ebola, 18 people including 9 positive Ebola and 9 contacts were hospitalized in the Ebola treatment centers at the date of 22 January. On the same date, the total number of confirmed deaths related to probable and suspect Ebola has reached 1,886 including 101 members of the health staff. At least 1,455 contacts were subject to regular monitoring.
