Spain flies Priest out
Thursday, 07 August 2014 00:00 Othello B. Garblah
The Spanish Government on Wednesday evacuated from Liberia a Catholic Priest, brother Miguel Pajares who contracted the deadly Ebola virus while offering prayers for the late Patrick Sawyer's sister at the Christian run St. Joseph Catholic Hospital in Monrovia. The hospital has been shut down temporarily like many others after the virus spread there.

The late Sawyer sister who also died at the same hospital of the tropical disease had gone there for medical treatment. Her brother Patrick died five days upon arrival in Lagos, Nigeria of the same Ebola virus.

Brother Miguel Pajares was flown to Madrid on a Spain's Ministry of Defense medically equipped Airbus A310, where he will be treated at Madrid's La Paz hospital. Deputy Information Minister Isaac Jackson confirmed that the Priest was flown when contacted on Wednesday...

In addition, he?s been conducting all of his business by phone or email. If he has to talk with someone in person, he does so through a screen or a gate. And if someone has to enter his residence, that person must wash with chlorine water and sit on the opposite side of the room.

Liberia: Nurse Killed, 11 Show Ebola Symptoms in Kakata
By Richard Baysah

One nurse has died and 11 others working at the C.H. Rennie Hospital in Kakata, Margibi County are showing symptoms of the Ebola disease, the Medical Director, Dr. AdolphusYeiah, has disclosed.

Dr. Yeiah told the Liberia News Agency(LINA) Tuesday he will shut down the hospital if results of specimen taken from those nurses prove positive, adding "this will show that the situation could go from bad to worse at the hospital."

He added that the situation has left the hospital partially abandoned by the nurses who have been complaining about the lack of personal protective equipment to no avail...

Liberia closes hospital after 7 staff members contract Ebola

Source: Agencies | August 7, 2014, Thursday |

Print Edition
LIBERIA shut a major hospital in the capital Monrovia yesterday after a Spanish priest and six other staff contracted Ebola, as the death toll from the worst outbreak of the disease hit 932 in West Africa.
The outbreak of the deadly hemorrhagic fever has overwhelmed rudimentary health care systems and prompted the deployment of soldiers to quarantine the worst-hit areas in the remote border region of Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone.
The World Health Organization reported 45 new deaths in the three days to August 4, and its experts began an emergency meeting in Geneva yesterday. They were slated to discuss whether the outbreak constitutes a ?Public Health Emergency of International Concern? and new measures to contain the outbreak.
International alarm at the spread of the disease increased when a US citizen died in Nigeria late last month after flying there from Liberia. The health minister said yesterday that a Nigerian nurse who had treated the deceased Patrick Sawyer had herself died of Ebola, and five other people were being treated in an isolation ward in Lagos, Africa's largest city.
In Saudi Arabia, a man suspected of contracting Ebola during a recent business trip to Sierra Leone also died early yesterday in Jeddah, the Health Ministry said. Saudi Arabia has already suspended pilgrimage visas from West African countries.
Liberia, where the death toll is rising fastest, is struggling to cope. Many residents are panicking, in some cases casting out the bodies of family members onto the streets of Monrovia to avoid quarantine measures.
Beneath heavy rain, ambulance sirens wailed through the otherwise quiet streets of Monrovia as residents heeded a government request to stay at home for three days of fasting and prayers.
?Everyone is afraid of Ebola. You cannot tell who has Ebola or not. Ebola is not like a cut mark that you can see and run,? said Sarah Wehyee as she stocked up on food at a market in Paynesville, an eastern suburb of Monrovia.
St Joseph?s Catholic hospital was shut down after the Cameroonian hospital director died from Ebola, authorities said. Six staff subsequently tested positive for the disease, including two nuns and 75-year old Spanish priest Miguel Pajares.
Three of the world?s leading Ebola specialists urged the WHO to offer people in West Africa the chance to take experimental drugs, too, but the agency said it ?would not recommend any drug that has not gone through the normal process of licensing and clinical trials.?
Ebola is highly contagious. It kills more than half of the people who contract it. Victims suffer from fever, vomiting, diarrhea and internal and external bleeding.:tiphat:http://www.shanghaidaily.com/world/...-7-staff-members-contract-Ebola/shdaily.shtml

Observers see the Ebola attack on Kakata as extremely disturbing, given the city's central location. Most travelers up country, especially to Bong, Lofa, Nimba, Grand Gedeh and other parts of southeastern Liberia not only pass through Kakata, but also stop there for refueling, rest, food and shopping.

Kakata lies in the heart of Liberia's rubber belt. It is adjacent to three major concession areas, Firestone, Salala Rubber Corporation situated in Weala near Salala, Bong County, and China Union, the mining concession operating the former Bong Mines in the densely populated Fauma Chiefdom. Closer to Kakata is the country's largest privately owned rubber plantation, Morris American Rubber, formerly known as Morris Farm.

There are also many major educational institutions in Kakata, the biggest being the Booker Washington Institute (BWI), the Lango Lippaye High School, St. Augustine High School and the Cuttington Community College, which also trains nurses...

The Liberian slum where Ebola spreads death among killer virus 'deniers'
Blue crosses on houses in New Kru Town mark the few residences to have complied with the advice of visiting health officials, while countless others rely on prayer and witchcraft to fend off Ebola in Monrovia
By Colin Freeman, in New Kru Town, Liberia

10:03AM BST 08 Aug 2014

If ever there was a likely spot for an outbreak of the deadly Ebola virus, New Kru Town in Liberia is it. A sprawling slum of the country's war-ravaged capital, Monrovia, it is home to 50,000 people, and has next to no functioning lavatories, sinks or bathrooms.

Sewage runs openly through its maze of corrugated shacks, and in Liberia's wet season ? at its height right now ? tropical torrents turn it into one vast, warm, moist, breeding pool for germs.

It hardly feels surprising then, in the wake of several locals dying from Ebola, to see health teams daubing blue crosses on a number of shacks around town.

These, however, are not to identify those who have caught the disease, but to mark the relatively few New Kru Towners who have been visited by the teams and accepted their advice on how to avoid getting it. So far, only around 500 houses have been marked ? and with health workers themselves accused of spreading the disease, some parts of New Kru Town remain decidedly hostile...

Ebola claims third victim at same Spanish charity
POSTED: 12 Aug 2014 02:48

A Spanish charity announced on Monday (Aug 11) a third member of staff at its hospital in Liberia has died of Ebola, saying it fears a lack of basic safety precautions let the virus spread through its team.

MADRID: A Spanish charity announced on Monday (Aug 11) a third member of staff at its hospital in Liberia has died of Ebola, saying it fears a lack of basic safety precautions let the virus spread through its team.

The charity's Ebola-struck hospital in the capital Monrovia has been shuttered, three of its personnel have now died and another, an elderly Spanish priest with Ebola, has been evacuated to Madrid for treatment.

The latest Ebola victim from the Saint Joseph's Catholic Hospital is Ghanaian priest George Combey, who died of the virus overnight, his Roman Catholic order said in a statement. "We wish to show our support to George Combey's family at this difficult time," said the Hospitaller Brothers of St. John of God, which created the Juan Ciudad ONGD international aid group.

The haemorrhagic virus killed the hospital's director, Cameroon-born Patrick Nshamdze, on August 2 and a week later it claimed the life of a nun at the same hospital, Chantal Pascaline, from the Democratic Republic of Congo.

It is not known exactly how the third victim contracted Ebola, said the order's spokeswoman, Adriana Castro. But a test had wrongly shown the first victim, the hospital director, to be free of Ebola before his death, the spokeswoman told AFP...

In the West Point community Saturday, seventeen (17) suspected and some confirmed Ebola patients escaped an isolation center late in the evening.

(Reuters) - To try to control the Ebola epidemic spreading through West Africa, Liberia has quarantined remote villages at the epicentre of the virus, evoking the "plague villages" of medieval Europe that were shut off from the outside world.
