Suspected Ebola cases in Atakpam?: The doctor called 111 in vain

The first discovery of Ebola in Togo is confirmed. The authorities have not yet reached a decision.

August 8, 2014 By Komi Dovlovi -

Time knows a little about the two suspected cases in the city of Atakpam?. From source close to the CHR, a patient arrived at two o'clock in the night, with eruptions and blood secretions all over the body.

The assistants at the same time spoke of Ebola while the doctor himself would have established that it would rather be a spell. It is not known if the doctor has gifts of voodoo priest.

To get more confidence, they called 111 to no avail. At 3 am nobody was answering.. At 4:00 am, the CHR called Lom? University Hospital who also called 111 to no avail. The patient died after 3 hours.

According to our source, the doctor would have tried to treat the patient while his assistant admits not to have touched him..

But in a village near Ani? , it seems that a case occurred this morning. The chief grumbled asking people to wash with warm salty water.

Two cases of Ebola discovered in Atakpam?

August 8, 2014 By Komi Dovlovi -

From sources close to the regional hospital Atakpam? (CHR), there were two cases of Ebola in the city (160 km from Lom?). According to a doctor who asked to remain anonymous, there is exactly one confirmed case and one suspected case. The authorities have just dispatch a medical team of Lome at the scene. Located on the national N ? 1 in Atakpam? is a crossroads for travelers heading to Lome or in the hinterland of the country, and even to Benin.

Another suspected case was discovered in Lome, close to the place Anani Santos. The man who showed signs of high fever and fatigue, was about to go buy medicines when he collapsed in the street, vomiting blood.

He was eventually evacuated by a health team dispatched to the scene. But health officials have not yet commented.

Since the expansion of the Ebola virus in the countries of Sierra Leone and Libera, the Togolese authorities have taken prudential measures. The country lives in psychosis of the disease since a suspected case discovered in Lagos, was discovered in Lagos on a flight via Lome. A surveillance team is installed at the University Hospital Campus Lome.

Lack of hygiene

But the behavior of the Togolese authorities suggest that the country is not yet ready to fight back effectively against the disease. Yesterday, after evacuating the suspected case found in Lome, no prophylactic measures have been taken to clean up. Yet Lom? has lived since a few weeks a very rainy monsoon, and this was particularly the case yesterday.

Since September 2013, Togo has no health minister. The department is placed under the authority of the Prime Minister.
