Ebola in T?lim?l? ? Three suspicious deaths and two inpatients are confirmed ...

Three people recently died in the same family in Sogoroyah and three others would be currently ill . An unofficial source told Guineenews that two of these three patients were confirmed Ebola by examining the samples. But for the moment , no official source has confirmed these cases whose last death was recorded in the night from Saturday to Sunday, May 18, 2019 .

If you believe our information it is in her family, in Sogoroyah , subprefecture of Sar?kaly , that a lady who came from Conakry recently went ; fell ill , she will die shortly after . Then, her mother falls ill and passes away just days after her daughter. Also , the half- sister of the first death fell ill , midwife at the health center of Sar?kaly , the latter will be hospitalized at the district hospital of T?lim?l? without success. And it is the latter death that will make the other cases become very suspicious .

According to one resident of the city of T?lim?l? , it was masked doctors that will bring the body of the lady not to her family , but directly to the cemetery ! The mom ot the latter and others would also be sick and currently hospitalized at the health center in Sar?kaly .

To believe our informants , sampling of three of these patients currently hospitalized patients have confirmed that two of the three are suffering from Ebola and that MSF team is already en route to T?lim?l? . Note that there would have been no samples taken from the bodies of the three deaths already buried ...

At the moment, there is no official confirmation of the arrival of the Ebola virus haemorrhagic fever in T?lim?l? , although our sources are persistent and generally well informed.

The prefectural Director of Health T?lim?l? Dr. Moumini Diallo, and Chief DPLM Ministry of Health, Dr. Sakoba Keita , have not yet responded to calls from Guin?enews . As the Director of National Promotion of Health, Dr. Mamadou Diallo Rafi , he was "not informed " when he answered Guineenews -8H 27 ' , this Wednesday, May 21, 2014 .

Located 270 kilometers northeast of Conakry, T?lim?l? is one of the poorest prefectures of the Republic of Guinea , making border with eight other prefectures in the Lower and Middle Guinea .

Ebola haemorrhagic fever , discovered earlier this year in the forest area has reached several areas of the country including the Guinean capital which recorded several deaths , as Forest. This is when we expect a possible announcement of the end of the epidemic in our country that these suspects are announced.

Confirmed Ebola cases in T?lim?l? " patients are isolated in Sogoroyah ", says Dr. Diallo Moumini

It is now official in T?lim?l? : Ebola haemorrhagic fever is well and truly in Sogoroyah (about 15 Km from the city of T?lim?l? ) in the Rural Municipality of Sar?kaly .

According to the prefectural Director of Health in T?lim?l? , reached by telephone Wednesday at midday by Guineenews , it is yesterday , Tuesday, May 20, 2014 ? 6:30 p.m. that the head of prevention and fight against the disease division , Dr. Sakoba Keita has announced to him that the examination from patients specimens previously transported to the laboratory at Donka hospital in Conakry, reveals that two of the three samples were positive for Ebola .

To believe Dr. Moumini Diallo, awareness sessions have already started in T?lim?l? among citizens , especially with rural radio and a list of all contacts (whether in hospital, at home, etc. . ) have already been established. " No doctor has been quarantined ," he said.

But, how did the cursed virus arrived in T?lim?l? ?

According to our information , it is a young man from Sogoroyah who fell ill in Cimenterie (Conakry) . Alpha Oumar Barry , merchant at the crossroads of Cimenterie , would have gone to a clinic that would be between Sonfonia and Cimenterie for treatment . But, he does not get all the care in the clinic and go home without being healed. This is where his niece, Ta?bou Barry would come to see her sick uncle in Cimenterie .

Two days after leaving the clinic, Alpha Oumar Barry will die and his niece leaves for the village ( Sogoroyah ) to present her condolences to the family . Sick, she will be hospitalized without success. This is the first case, but will aroused no suspicion! It took the loss of two other members of the same family and so close from eachother (on 17 and 19 May) to get worried! Especially that latter case Ba?lo Mariama Barry, is a health worker (ATS) that would have cared the first two cases ...

That prompted an emergency mission services prefectural directorate of Health to isolate other patients and take samples . These samples have therefore confirmed that this is indeed the cursed virus that has infected two of three patients , currently isolated in the center of Health " Madina Telico " of Sogoroyah ...

Teams from WHO, MSF and Ministry of Health are now en route to T?lim?l? .

The government announced two Ebola cases and 41 contacts T?lim?l? : Residents in doubt

It is through a ministry of health statement which we have copies that the government has announced the development of three new cases of Ebola including two in T?lim?l? and one in Gu?k?dou .

During this time, in Sogoroyah , the district having registered these cases , they begin to doubt the existence of this viral disease in the living area. As always , death and disease have supernatural explanations in African villages.

At Sogoroyah , some spoke of the consumption of meat from a cow unfit to humans. And other accused evil spirits , believing that old devil would be upset after the burning of fields where the fire reportedly escaped and devastated usually protected bush ... This thesis were the most common Thursday , since all casualties ( deaths and patients) are all from the same family ...

Moreover, one wonders what the government has made of the contacts in Conakry , including the household, environment and especially the private clinic that received the patient between Sonfonia and Cimenterie.

West Africa Ebola outbreak still spreading, 'situation serious': WHO

By Stephanie Nebehay and Saliou Samb
GENEVA/CONAKRY Wed May 28, 2014 10:26am EDT

(Reuters) - Guinea's capital Conakry has recorded its first new Ebola cases in more than a month, while other previously unaffected areas have also reported infections in the past week, according to the World Health Organization.
...
The spread of the two-month-old outbreak, which Guinean authorities had said had been contained, risks further complicating the fight against the virus in a region already struggling with weak healthcare systems and porous borders.

"The situation is serious, you can't say it is under control as cases are continuing and it is spreading geographically," Dr Pierre Formenty, a WHO expert who recently returned from Guinea, told a news briefing in Geneva on Wednesday.

"There was no decline. In fact it is because we are not able to capture all the outbreak that we were under the impression there was a decline," he said.

Ebola killed one in Boffa and saw an increase in T?lim?l?

The Ebola virus continues its dangerous rise in the districts of Lower Guinea and Conakry. Boffa Prefecture ( located approximately at 150 kilometers from the Guinean capital ) reported this afternoon a first death who was sick with Ebola, according to medical sources. After three (3) confirmed patients by laboratory tested in Conakry , Boffa received last night , the visit of a government mission led by the Minister of Health , R?my Lamah .

For its part, the prefecture T?lim?l? (bordering Boffa and 270 km from Conakry) fights against this cursed fever for a week already , without the visit, or the support of any member of the government. And despite the countless financial and material assistance from the international community and even individual received by the Guinean government in the fight against Ebola . Products conveyed by a truck from the Ministry of Social Action are still stored in a shop... So it is NGOs such as Doctors Without Borders , WHO, Plan Guinea , etc. . currently providing advice , assistance and support to the medical staff, the public and local authorities. This Wednesday, May 28 , we learn that it is through a voluntary contribution initiated by the prefect , that the local authorities were able to buy rice , soap , buckets and kettles to send the grieving family ....

Meanwhile , the list of patients is prolonged and the risk of spreading to enlarge ! For example , a resident of the city center (urban commune) in T?lim?l? felt sick and took the road to Conakry. Upon her arrival, the examination of her samples in Donka testified that she was indeed positive for Ebola , so we could hardly identify all of her traveling companions , people who have been in contact with her, etc. . And in T?lim?l? a member of the medical staff has probable signs of Ebola and is reluctant at this time to give samples.

Given all these risks and especially the refusal of many of the inhabitants of T?lim?l? to comply with the recommendations and advice of the medical staff , representatives of NGOs and local authorities , the International Coalition for Development T?lim?l? ( CIDT ) initiated meetings in Conakry that led to the creation and sending of a mission awareness in T?lim?l? . A call was also made ​​to all T?lim?l? sons and friends to get in touch with the International Coalition for Development T?lim?l? ( CIDT , set up in August 2013 in Brussels) to create a synergy actions to support the fight against Ebola virus led by local authorities , NGOs and health workers currently working in risky and very difficult conditions.

Ebola fever in Guinea : The virus continues to spread in the south ...

CONAKRY - Two new cases of Ebola haemorrhagic fever patients have been reported in the prefecture Gueckedou locality situated more than 400 kilometers of the Guinean capital Conakry has learned Africaguinee.com .

According to the prefect of Gu?ck?dou , Keita Mohamed V , these new cases were quickly admitted to the isolation ward . Other tests are also underway to verify suspected cases. Health authorities were informed through green numbers that have been made ​​available to the people.

Moreover, the first authority of this prefecture regretted the fact that some citizens continue to receive people from neighboring Sierra Leone.

"I 'm not allowed to close the border otherwise I would have taken the best solution. We have neighboring villages of Sierra Leone who have not accepted that agents MSF ( M?decins Sans Fronti?res, Editor's note) Sierra Leone be in their localities. After the departure of doctors, the disease began to crack in these villages. Currently many of them are sick. There are some patients who come here for treatment "revealed the first authority in the prefecture of Gu?ck?dou .

Faced with this migration of people across the border , the prefect Mohamed V Keita said to have instructed the security guards to establish an order that would detect cases of illness and inform the health authorities immediately.
