While Ebola’s outbreak kills 16 people in the Congo, the official says Trump’s discounts “will definitely have an effect”

Johannesburg – The Minister of Health of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Samuel Roger Campaba, confirmed last week the outbreak of the infectious dynasty of the infectious virus from the Ebola virus in the Casai Central County in the country. He said that 16 deaths and 28 suspects were confirmed, including four suspects between health care workers.

“The first issue, known as the index case, was” a 34 -year -old pregnant woman who was accepted on August 20 and died on August 25 with typical features of hemorrhagic fever; bloody diarrhea, bleeding from the nose, vomiting, and bleeding from the rectum. “

The Ebola virus is transmitted to humans through close contact with infected wildlife, often bats, then it can spread through physical fluids through contact with human to human being. Global Health Organization He said thatAs of September 4, the death rate in the event of the death of the Congo was 57 %, with 80 % of cases in people between the ages of 15 years or older.

This is the outbreak of Ebola VI within seven years in the Congo, making it the highest focus of outbreaks since the discovery of the virus for the first time in 1976.

On Sunday, a team of the first respondents arrived in the Bulape Health area, where the outbreak of the disease struck with medical supplies.

In the capital in the country, health workers and the first respondents were granted by the Ministry of Health, and the World Health Organization and Africa centers to combat and prevent vaccines before publishing in the affected area.

The Congo is currently in stock of 2000 vaccine doses and more to arrive in the coming days, According to the World Health Organization.

Patrick Otim, the coordinator of the emergency department of the World Health Organization in the region, told reporters during a surrounding on September 4 that the United Nations was already working to track close contacts with well -known cases, increase the ability of the field laboratory test and societal response to ensure early reports.

He acknowledged that the Democratic Republic of the Congo had requested additional vaccines and stressed that, as “early supportive care is the key to saving life”, who was working to provide more medical supplies, including protective clothes and other elements “needed for fascism management.”

Utim said that the last two fascists, in 2022, were quickly contained, but indicated that they were eaten before the Trump administration reduced great funding for international health programs, including WHO.

Those cuts to them Anxiety in Africa and other places On the ability of individual countries and global agencies to respond and quickly contain diseases, including Ebola – and to prevent these deadly viruses from reaching American beaches.

“It is certain that the recent discounts will have an effect,” Autim said in the briefing. “As a global community, we need to work together to stop this virus, because diseases do not respect the borders.”

“What we know (from the outbreak of previous diseases) is that you need to obtain supplies and resources as soon as possible to stop the transmission,” Outim added.

President Trump It was announced in January The United States-which has long been the owners of a major interest and the largest donor of the Agency-will withdraw from the World Health Organization from the World Health Organization, with the martyrdom of the White House “the treatment of the organization with the Covid-19 epidemic that arose from Wuhan, China and other global health crises, and its failure to adopt greatly required reforms, and its inability to show independence from justice in justice.”

The Trump administration also accused, at the time, who is demanding “unfair inappropriate payments from the United States from the United States, not commensurate with the estimated payments for other countries.”

The World Health Organization is almost immediately warned, given the uncertainty about US financing in the future, it is He was reducing spending In ways it can affect its operations.

The Congo health care system was already overburdened as it is Battles to contain MPOX outbreakWith about 130,000 suspected cases since last year and about 2000 deaths now recorded, the World Health Organization said last week.

The response is held by the fact that the closest medical isolation unit to the outbreak contains only 15 beds, and access to roads from Kinshasa can take up to three days, which delays the arrival of the medical teams and supplies.

The World Health Organization has already delivered about 13 tons of emergency medical supplies to the Congo to help contain and treat fascism.

Other African countries have placed borders entry points and health facilities at maximum alert to detect any potential cases of Ebola.
