DSÖ, Bundibugyo Ebola Salgınına Karşı Uluslararası Acil Durum İlan Etti

Summary · AI generated

Dünya Sağlık Örgütü (DSÖ), Demokratik Kongo Cumhuriyeti'nde (DRC) Bundibugyo virüsünün yol açtığı Ebola salgınını uluslararası halk sağlığı acil durumu olarak ilan etti. Nadir görülen bu varyanta karşı onaylı bir aşı veya tedavi bulunmuyor. Şimdiye kadar 500'den fazla şüpheli vaka tespit edildi, en az 130 kişi yaşamını yitirdi ve DSÖ risk seviyesini 'çok yüksek' olarak güncelledi. Salgının komşu ülkelere sıçrama ihtimali endişe yaratıyor. Uluslararası alanda Hong Kong, Afrika'dan gelen yolcular için sağlık taramalarını sıkılaştırdı ve karantina tesisi hazırladı. ABD, DRC ve Uganda'da 50 tedavi merkezi için 13 milyon dolarlık başlangıç fonu sağlarken, USAID'in kapatılması ve halk sağlığı kesintileri nedeniyle müdahalenin yetersiz kaldığı eleştirileri yükseldi. Sınır Tanımayan Doktorlar gibi kuruluşlar sahada çalışmalarını sürdürüyor, DSÖ ise aday aşı ve tedavileri değerlendiriyor. Çatışma, yerel halkta güvensizlik ve geç tespit gibi etkenler salgınla mücadeleyi zorlaştırıyor. DSÖ, salgının en az iki ay daha kontrol altına alınamayabileceği uyarısında bulundu. Uzmanlar, dış yardımlardaki kesintilerin küresel sağlık krizlerine yanıt kapasitesini zayıflattığını vurguluyor.

    Why the lessons of the DRC’s last Ebola outbreak are being tested again

    United Nations

    The emergency caused by the Bundibugyo variant has revived fears shaped by conflict, mistrust and delayed detection, even as the WHO moves quickly To be around the centre of an Ebola outbreak is to become used to the smell of chlorine. At hospitals and government buildings, surfaces are sprayed with it and hands washed in a 0.05% solution that can kill the virus in 60 seconds. Infrared handheld thermometers take temperatures at airports and border crossings. Any indication of a fever prevents passage. Contact-tracing teams crisscross the countryside. Continue reading...

    Ebola in DR Congo: 'This could be a very bad outbreak,' MSF health worker says

    A vaccination and epidemic response adviser who is about to fly out to DR Congo to try to help in the fight against Ebola has told FRANCE 24 that the signs are the current outbreak will be a serious one. Already more than 130 people have been killed, with over 500 more cases detected. John Johnson is vaccination and epidemic response advisor at MSF and is due to fly to DR Congo on Thursday. He explained that part of the problem is that tests had been carried out for a more common strain of Ebola, so they were coming back negative. He spoke to us in Perspective.

    US is ‘simply choosing not to stop’ Ebola outbreak after massive public health cuts, experts say

    Hundreds of cases reported in the DRC after USAID has been dismantled and key scientific research canceled A previously undetected outbreak of Ebola is coursing through parts of central Africa, and the US appears to be doing little to help stop it, after massive cuts to global and domestic public health efforts. There is no cure and no vaccine for the rare Bundibugyo variant of Ebola, which has caused two outbreaks in recent decades. Health leaders and scientists are now racing to understand where the virus is spreading and attempting to stop it – but the US is notably absent in these efforts. Continue reading...

    Health workers struggle with Ebola outbreak as WHO declares highest risk level in DR Congo

    First, at least 160 lives already feared lost, health workers in the DRC are racing against time to contain a deadly disease that spreads as fast as it kills. Also, a diplomatic rift with the European Union is widening over security funding in Mozambique. The Foreign Ministry has criticised Brussels for halting support for Rwandan troops deployed in Cabo Delgado. And, African animation is stepping out of the margins with bold global ambitions. As studios, streamers, and creators invest in original stories from the continent, the key question remains: can Africa turn this creative momentum into a truly sustainable animation industry?
