Ukuqubuka kwe-Ebola eCongo okubanga ukuphuthumayo kwezempilo emhlabeni jikelele

Ngenkathi iWorld Health Organisation (WHO) isamile ekutheni ithi kufanele kuvalwe imingcele, ithi ingcuphe yokuba i-Ebola isabalale ngaphandle kwalesi sifunda ayiphakeme, le nhlangano yamemezela ukuthi inkinga yezifo eDemocratic Republic of Congo iyisimo somphakathi esiphuthumayo sokukhathazeka komhlaba wonke. (PHEIC).

UMphathi we-WHO uTedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus uthe akumele kube nemikhawulo ekuhambeni noma ekuhwebeni, futhi kungabhekwa ukuhlolwa kwabagibeli emachwebeni noma ezikhumulweni zezindiza ngaphandle kwesifunda esiseduze. Le nhlangano isho, nokho, ukuthi ubungozi emazweni angomakhelwane “bukhulu kakhulu”. Kushone abantu ababili e-Uganda bebulawa yi-Ebola - umfana oneminyaka emihlanu kanye nogogo wakhe oneminyaka engama-5, kanti eGoma, umfundisi ubulawe yigciwane. IGoma imele isimo esibuhlungu ikakhulukazi esinabantu abangaphezu kwesigidi abahlala lapho futhi idolobha liyindawo enkulu yezokuthutha emngceleni weDR Congo neRwanda.

I-PHEIC yizinga eliphezulu kakhulu le-alamu elisetshenziswa yi-WHO futhi selikhishwe amahlandla ama-4 kuphela ngaphambilini, okubandakanya nomqedazwe we-Ebola owabulala ngaphezu kwe-11,000 eNtshonalanga Afrika kusukela ngo-2014 kuya ku-2016. umphimbo oqhubekela ekuhlanzeni, kuhudo, nakukopha ngaphakathi nangaphandle, futhi labo abafayo banqotshwa ukoma emzimbeni nokuhluleka komzimba okuningi. Ukutheleleka kusakazwa ngokuthintana ngqo noketshezi lomzimba, igazi, indle, noma ukugabha okuvela kumuntu otheleleke ngesikhumba esonakele, umlomo, namakhala.

Lesi sifo siqale ngo-Agasti 2018 futhi sithinta izifundazwe ezi-2 eDR Congo - eNyakatho Kivu nase-Ituri. Kubantu abangaphezu kuka-2,500 224 abathelelekile, izingxenye ezimbili kwezintathu zabo sezishonile. Ezinsukwini ezingama-1,000, inani lamacala lafinyelela ku-71 2,000, kwathi ezinsukwini ezingama-12 kuphela emva kwalokho, amanani akhuphukela ku-XNUMX XNUMX. Cishe amacala amasha ayi-XNUMX abikwa njalo ngosuku olulodwa.

Umuthi wokugoma wenziwa ngesikhathi sokuqubuka kweNtshonalanga Afrika futhi usebenza ngamaphesenti angama-99 kepha usetshenziswa kuphela yilabo abahlangana ngqo neziguli ze-Ebola. Kuze kube manje, abantu abangu-161,000 sebegonyiwe. Kulabo basebenzi bezempilo abasebenzela iziguli ze-Ebola, bangu-198 asebethole lesi sifo selokhu kuqale lo nyaka kanti abayisikhombisa babo sebashona.

Inani elikhulu lamacala liza isimanga njengoba kubonakala kulawo macala, abantu abahlangani nanoma ngubani one-Ebola. Ngokwengeziwe, ukulandelela ukusabalala kwegciwane kube nzima ngenxa yokungabethembi abasebenzi bezokunakekelwa kwezempilo okuholele ekutheni ingxenye yesithathu yalabo abangenwe yigciwane ingalutholi usizo lwezempilo futhi ifele emiphakathini yabo. Le miphumela yileli gciwane elisakazeka kalula ezihlotsheni nakomakhelwane.

I-WHO ikubeke kwacaca ukuthi ayinayo imali eyanele ukulwa nalesi sifo. Kudingeka imali elinganiselwa ezigidini ezingama-98 zamaRandi ukubhekana nje nokubhebhetheka kwalesi sifo kusuka ngoFebhuwari kuya kuJulayi. Ukushoda kwaba yisamba esingu- $ 54 million.
