Dakar / Lagos - "totally inadequate response" of the world to mean the Ebola outbreak in West Africa, that the President of the World Bank, many people are dying unnecessarily, said on Monday that Nigeria has another case confirmed virus.
Could in an editorial in the newspaper, the World Bank President Jim Yong Kim said Western Health facilities include easily the disease and called on the rich, knowledge and resources needed to have countries share African countries.
"The crisis that we see unfold consumes less of the virus itself and the murderers and uninformed, resulting in inadequate response to the devastating epidemic prejudice the" Kim wrote in the Washington Post.
"Many die needlessly," says the editor, co-authored by a professor at Harvard University Paul Farmer, with Kim founded Partners In Health, a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving health in poor countries.
Ebola Camp
In a concrete sign of the dangers of inadequate health care, a man escaped from a quarantine Ebola in Monrovia on Monday, sending people fleeing in fear as he went in search of food in a market, the Reuters witness.
The patient, who pointed out that a label bears had tested positive for Ebola, with a stick and threw stones at a medical center in the neighborhood, the Paynesville stood at a distance and tried to persuade him to surrender.
At one point, he stumbled and fell apparently weakened by illness. Healthcare workers who wear protective clothing forced him into a medical vehicle and returned to the institution.
"We were told that the Government of Liberia from the beginning that we do not want to camp here Ebola. Today the fifth patient vomits from Ebola," a man watching the scene said. Another witness said that patients do not get enough food in the treatment center.
Ebola is transmitted necessary by contact with body fluids of an infected person, but tough measures for its containment. There is no proven cure, when the work on experimental vaccines has accelerated.
"Dangerous Moment"
More than 1,500 people were killed in West Africa, in the worst outbreak since the disease was discovered in 1976 near the Ebola River in the Democratic Republic of Congo today. More than 3,000 people, mainly in Sierra Leone, Guinea and Liberia were infected.
Providing poor health care has exacerbated the challenge. Liberia had only 50 doctors for 4.3 million people before the outbreak, and many health workers have died of Ebola virus.
The lack of basic needs, food and medical care were to stop by the decision of some airlines, tightened to fly the most affected countries. Several neighboring countries closed their borders, and many international organizations have withdrawn their international staff.
The World Health Organization said last week that the number of victims could be even higher than reported up to four, and that up to 20,000 people could be affected by the end of the outbreak. $ 490m plan was launched to contain the epidemic.
Kim and Farmer said that if international organizations and the rich countries have a coordinated response to the West African countries that mounted the WHO plan, the death rate could fall below 20% - 50% today.
"You are in a dangerous time," they wrote. "Tens of thousands of lives, the future of the economic gains and the health region and hard-earned millions are at stake."
"Pathetic"
Nigeria has confirmed a third case of Ebola virus Monday in the oil hub of Port Harcourt, bringing the total number of confirmed cases in the country to 16, with about 200 people under observation.
A doctor in Port Harcourt died last week after the treatment of human contact in Liberia that Americans was the first case of the virus in the most populous country in Africa. The alarm sounded as the Ebola virus, which seemed about to be included in the economic capital Lagos may break elsewhere.
Senegal, a transportation hub and the center of charities, became the fifth African country to have dodged a case of Ebola, Friday, entry 21, a student from Guinea, the control in his home country and reach Dakar.
"People need to know that if it were not for the health of the child would be in court," the President Macky Sall state television said. "You can have Konditions and take in other countries."
Some shops in the bustling capital of Senegal failed disinfection Monday that affected residents stocked.
The house and shop from the family of the student in the most populous district of Dakar pieces Assainies disinfected by health teams. Authorities have 20 people who had contact with the student under observation, and they were given health checks twice a day.
