Follow-up of contacts in Kpagalaye: Minister R?my Lamah calls on the populations to accept nursing staff

By Doura
Since 9 hours

Since the morning of yesterday Sunday, women have been massively out to prevent the arrival of the Ebola response teams in the district of Kpagalaye.
Reacting to this subject, this Monday, April 5, the Minister of Health, Colonel R?my Lama, called on the populations of this second epidemic focus, to receive healthcare personnel, in order to follow up contacts of the last notified case of Ebola.
It was during an interview he gave to mosaiqueguinee.com, in the early afternoon.

?I ask the populations to accept the nursing staff to follow the contacts and the contacts of the contacts. If this is not the case, it will be difficult to end this epidemic that we have known since 2015 and which has left serious consequences with thousands of deaths. And who left widows, orphans. Today, we have the means and the possibilities to deal with this epidemic. We have the vaccines and the drugs. We must accept the advice of caregivers. Opening up access is to help treat Ebola patients, ?he said firmly.
It should be remembered that a case of Ebola was detected last Thursday, in the sub-prefecture of Soulouta, located about ten kilometers from Gou?ck?.:tiphat:https://aofud36pbhrjqxxtjnbytkcu3i-...populations-a-accepter-le-personnel-soignant/

Published
3 days ago on
Apr 2, 2021
little more than ten days after the release of the last patient Ebola epidemics Processing Center (CTEPI) N'Z?r?kor?), the virus reappears again in the region, where a new case has been recorded this 1 [SUP]th[/SUP] April in Kpaghalaye, a district under the sub-prefecture of Soulouta.
He is a student from the N'Z?r?kor? community health care school. But after his test at the regional hospital, which turned out to be positive, the patient fled, according to the Prefectural Director, Dr Sokpo Th?oro, cited by ledjely.com.

A new Ebola outbreak arises in Nz?r?kor?: A patient on the run ...
NZEREKORE-Difficult to defeat Ebola in Guinea! While we thought the virus had been conquered, it reappears in Nz?r?kor?. A new outbreak has just arisen with at least two new confirmed Ebola cases and three suspected deaths recorded.
It is in the locality of Kpaghalaye located in the sub-prefecture of Soulouta, a few kilometers from Gou?ck?, where the new epidemic started, that the new cases were reported.
While it was thought to contain the epidemic that reappeared last February in Gou?ck?, three suspicious deaths were successively recorded in a family in Kpaghalaye, raising questions.

It was following investigations that a member of a family tested positive for the Ebola virus. The latter who is a student of the community health care school would have fled, for fear of being hospitalized at C-TEPI. The main obstacle encountered by the health authorities is reluctance. The new home which is located about thirty kilometers from Nz?r?kor? seems to have been closed since, according to the DPS.

? There were successively three cases of death there, in the same family and in the same week. The kid who tested positive, I think his very mom passed away. We wanted to go there to do the investigation, they closed the village completely. We did everything, we even asked to be vaccinated, as we did not know what they died of, but they refused. It was after investigations that we were informed that there is one of these children who is in the health care school. We approached him and saw that he was showing some signs. We took him to the hospital to sensitize him so that he would agree to have a sample taken, and it turned out to be positive. When the results appeared positive, we wanted to sensitize him to bring him to C-TEPI. He pretended to go get comfortable and disappeared. But we will find him ?, Confided in us Dame Sokpo Th?oro Prefectural director of health of Nz?r?kor?, adding that sensitizations are underway to have access to the village which is completely closed in front of the health workers.


'' This is the last week that these people died successively. We are negotiating, we are seeing their parents who are in Conakry. We called them so that they could sensitize them to open Kpaghalaye and at least do the vaccination, '' she adds.
When questioned, the sub-prefect of Soulouta to whom Kpaghalaye reports, told us that the village finally requested help from the health authorities.
? The resistance that was there is no longer the case. They themselves asked for a vaccination team to come and vaccinate the population. I ask that there be two vaccination teams, one in Soulouta center and the other in Kpaghalaye, ?says Rodrigue Koli?, Sub-prefect of Soulouta.

Awareness against Ebola in Kpagalaye: ?the women say that the president of the district has received 7 million gnf? (sub-prefect)

Mediaguinee5 avril 2021

We know a little more about the genesis of the demonstration of the population of Kpagalaye (sub-prefecture of Soulata, prefecture of N'z?r?kor?.)

These women who do not want to see Ebola vaccinators in their locality also accuse the authorities of having received a sum of 7 million to facilitate the return of the vaccination team.
Reached by telephone by our editorial staff, the sub-prefect of Soulata, Nyankoye Koli?, specifies: ?They are still reluctant. They say the district president received $ 7 million for the immunization team to come here. They don't believe in the disease at all ?
Continuing, the territorial administrator indicates that there is a manipulation at the base of this demonstration.
?On Saturday and Thursday, two teams came to the village without any problem to meet on the ground. But those who are manipulating, let them stop. Ebola is one achieved. I myself have been vaccinated but also all the local authorities. If the population is threatened, we are the ones who are worried. This morning, an enlarged meeting is being held to raise awareness among citizens and remove gray areas, ?concludes our interlocutor.
Remember that the district of Kpagalaye has two confirmed cases of Ebola and 3 cases of suspicious deaths.
Today, the fear is the spread of the disease in the region.

Ebola outbreak: The latest information

APR 5, 2021
After a brief respite, Ebola resurfaced in Guinea-Foresti?re. The government is working to vaccinate as many people as possible to curb the spread. Meanwhile, the reluctance is growing. According to the ANSS, on April 3, a new case was confirmed, taken care of at the CT-Epi in N'Z?r?kor?; 3 suspected cases recorded, of which 1 died after arriving at the center; another death was recorded at the center, which tested negative for Ebola. For this new wave, there are 16 confirmed cases including 7 probable cases recorded on April 3, bringing the total to 12 deaths including 5 confirmed cases and 7 probable cases on April 3; 147 contacts are being followed up. The cumulative number of cures is 9 cases on April 3.
Meanwhile, the government continues to vaccinate: 240 people have been vaccinated in N'Z?r?kor?, including 60 in the urban commune, 120 in Kpagalaye and 60 in Soulouta. This brings the total to 5,365 people vaccinated between February 23 and April 3, 2021. The so-called first-line people (caregivers in particular) is 2,342 people vaccinated.
According to the ANSS, the challenge remains the mobilization of resources to deal with the epidemic; contain the epidemic focus (Gou?ck? / N'Z?r?kor?) and manage Ebola at the same time as other diseases: Covid-19, Yellow fever, Poliomyelitis, Measles. Even more, managing community reluctance in intervention areas. In Nz?r?kor?, women demonstrated topless across the city to protest against the presence of health workers, for this women and many people in Guinea-Foresti?re, Ebola does not exist. A contact has also fled so as not to go to the treatment center.

Ebola: suspected of having caught the virus, a doctor says "niet" at screening ...

NZEREKRE-The scene takes place in Nz?r?kor?, the epicenter of the Ebola virus epidemic that reappeared last February in Gou?ck?. Since the resurgence of the virus in Kpaghalaye in the sub-prefecture of Soulouta, the reluctance of citizens is slowing down the response.

What just happened in Nz?r?kor? is an example. Here! A doctor fiercely objected to being tested after showing some signs of contamination.

" The gentleman came in the morning, the agents who are at the door, took his temperature which read 38.9 ?. They made him wait for a few minutes. They resumed taking the temperature for a second time. was still at 38.9 ?. They waited another twenty minutes and they took again the temperature with two different thermo-flashes, it still displayed 38.9. When we went to see his director, the latter called him to know his position. He indicated where he was.

When he got there, the gentleman denied that his temperature was 38.9 ?. He denied all the facts. He said his temperature was 37. Since he's a doctor, he had his own thermo-flash, he used it to take his temperature, it was 36. We had to call in the two agents. who were at the start of the school year to testify. However, the man has the flu, but we did everything to allow him to accept that his sample be taken, he refused. He even started calling his parents from all over the place. He said he has to keep the 21 days. We then told him to show us where he was staying so that we could follow him, but he refused. He said he agrees to be followed. Since he is still at the school where he teaches,", said a health official expressing fears of a spread of the virus through the many cases of reluctance.

For now, the young student confirmed positive is still untraceable. The village of Kpaghalaye where negotiations are underway still remains closed to health authorities. To date, the situation shows a patient hospitalized at the CT-Epi of Gou?ck?, 164 contacts including 47 followed, a rate of 29%.

(Xinhua) 10:41, April 07, 2021

ADDIS ABABA, April 7 (Xinhua) -- The west African country of Guinea has detected five Ebola virus cases and three Ebola-related deaths over the past one week, the Africa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC) said Tuesday.

Africa CDC, the specialized healthcare agency of the 55-member African Union, said the five new Ebola cases put the overall number of cases detected in the continent to 35, 18 of which resulted in fatalities.

"Guinea has detected a total of 23 Ebola cases out of which 12 resulted in deaths while nine other patients recovered," the Africa CDC said.

"The Democratic Republic of Congo has detected a total of 12 Ebola cases out of which six resulted in deaths while six other patients recovered," the Africa CDC added.

Ebola in Kpagalaye: failure of negotiations between religious and women demonstrators

By Mohamed Bangoura

​

The district of Kpagalaye, epicenter of the second wave of the Ebola epidemic, will remain closed in front of the Ebola response actors.


In question, the negotiations started since the morning of this Wednesday by the religious leaders did not make it possible to put an end to the reluctance of the population in particular, the women who are hostile to the teams of sensitization and vaccination.


The women expressed their categorical refusal for the vaccination. The priests did everything and raised awareness, but it didn't work. It was a large assembly which brought together youth, women, elders and notables. The women said no way to raise awareness. We had done our duty, it did not work because the population does not want to understand anything. Some accuse others of having collected money to facilitate the vaccination. There is disinformation behind it all , ? said Alphonse Goumou, councilor at Soulouta town hall.


Kpagalaye therefore remains the zone closed to anti-Ebola agents. Meanwhile, the first Ebola patient remains untraceable as several contacts go about their business.


The prefectural director of health also deplores the unsafe community burials in the village.

[FONT=Inter !important]N'Z?r?kor?: Gbakalaye still refuses Ebola response teams[/FONT]
[FONT=Inter !important]by :Alpha Oumar Bald[/FONT]

Wednesday, April 07, 2021 at 10:10 a.m.

Ebola response teams operating in the capital of Forest Guinea, epicenter of the Ebola virus, since December 2021, have faced reluctance in the district of Gbakalaye.

Indeed, for four days already, this locality in the sub-prefecture of Soulouta, has been closed to Ebola response teams. And this has the consequence of not following up at least of Gbakalaye's 96 contacts.

According to our information, this reluctance is explained by the refusal of old "Zogo" who are the guardians of the tradition in the Kp?l? country. They categorically reject the return of the response teams, despite the intervention of national sons residing in N'Z?r?kor?.

Note that for the time being, the cumulative number of confirmed cases is 16, for 7 hospitalized deaths and 46 contacts followed out of a total of 164 contacts to follow.

WEEKLY BULLETIN ON OUTBREAKS
AND OTHER EMERGENCIES
Week 14: 29 March to 4 April 2021
Data as reported by: 17:00; 4 April 2021

...
Ebola virus disease Guinea

23 Cases
12 Deaths
52.2 % CFR

EVENT DESCRIPTION

A new confirmed case of Ebola virus disease (EVD) was reported
on 25 April 2021 from the sub-prefecture of Soulouta. As of 4
April 2021, a total of 23 cases have been reported, including
16 confirmed cases, and 7 probable cases, of which 9 have
recovered, and 12 have died (case fatality ratio 52.2%).

The subprefecture of Soulouta remains active (2 confirmed cases
and 3 probable cases reported in the past 21 days), while Samoe and
Nzerekore-Centre are on alert. The number of health workers
infected remains five.

Most of the confirmed and probable cases reported are female
(13/23; 60.9%) and the most affected age group are those over
40 years.

As of 4 April 2021, a total of 43 (29%) out of 149 contacts have
been followed up in Nzerekore. A total of 101 contacts have been
vaccinated. There were 19 alerts notified, all in Nzerekore, on 4
April 2021, of which 11 (58%) were investigated within 24 hours.
Of these, eight were validated, six of which were deaths that were
all sampled.

PUBLIC HEALTH ACTIONS

Daily incident management system meetings take place with
WHO, following up on field operations.

Community resistance prevented response measures,
including vaccination, in the village of Gbakalaye, Soulouta
on 4 April 2021; discussions around interventions are
underway.

A cumulative total of 4 565 people have been vaccinated,
including 288 high-risk contacts, 3 835 contacts-of-contacts
and 442 probable contacts, including 1 985 frontline workers.
Four patients, one confirmed and three suspected, are
currently hospitalized in the Epidemic Diseases Hospital
treatment centre.

Risk communication and community engagement (RCCE)
included identifying, briefing and deploying community
workers to work with the surveillance team; a review of all
deaths from 12 March 2021 to date is being supported, with
input from the socio-anthropologists; people and resources
are being identified for community monitoring and promotion
of prevention measures.

SITUATION INTERPRETATION

The EVD outbreak in Guinea, although appearing to be largely
under control, is up against serious challenges, not least
community resistance to response measures in the village of
Gbakalyaye, Soulouta, where the last two confirmed cases and
three probable cases were reported. A new confirmed case at day
35 of the countdown to the end of the pandemic has changed
the dynamics of the response and strengthened surveillance is
required, specifically increasing the number of alerts and the
number of samples tested in Nzerekore and neighbouring health
districts. In addition, all alerts need to be investigated within 24
hours, sampling as many suspected cases (including deaths)
as possible and isolating all suspected and confirmed patients.
Urgent attention is required to close the current funding gap in
the response plan budget in order to ensure a timely and quality
response.

Ebola in Kpagalaye: women lift the blockade after tough negotiations

Mohamed bangouraBy Mohamed Bangoura
For 2 hours ago MAIN FOCUS , News , Latest News

It took many negotiations and negotiations for the women of the district of Kpagalaye to agree to allow the arrival of teams to fight against Ebola.

After the failure of priests and local authorities, it is the Zowho women (traditional leaders) who have just lifted the harsh reluctance opposed by the population since last week.

?We went to meet the women and they expressed their dissatisfaction to us and demanded to bring the patient who is hospitalized at the treatment center. Immediately, we did not delay in bringing in the latter who is already healed. This reassured them a lot. His wife, who is hospitalized at the CT-EPI, was also contacted by phone. She explained the realities of the center. This is what relieved the population who gave their consent for doctors to carry out their activities without fear. All is well now in the village but there are small sacrifices to be made to eliminate some curses made during their demonstrations, ? said Marie No?l Balamou, women leaders and traditional communicator.

This is news that relieved the members of the prefectural coordination of the fight against Ebola on Friday. According to the regional health director, all response activities can start on Saturday morning. These include awareness raising, tracing of contacts and suspected cases, vaccination and epidemiological surveillance.
