DSÖ, Bundibugyo Ebola Salgınına Karşı Uluslararası Acil Durum İlan Etti
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
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...

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

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?
