Newspaper "Le Monde" newspaper interview today with the Director of WHO to develop a monastery Morris
Newspaper "Le Monde" newspaper interview today with the Director of the World Health Organization Margaret Chan to assess the situation so far and explained the organization's strategy to meet the swine flu virus, which announced on June 11 as the first epidemic in the twenty-first century.
As the latest statistics released on Friday, August 28th the World Health Organization, the number of deaths caused by swine influenza virus to at least 2185 people, while the number of people living at that date not less than 209,438 in more than 177 countries .
Margaret Chan says that this is the first time in history that we see the epidemic is evolving before our eyes. The world in the past is always taken by surprise, without having had enough time to discuss ways to cope with the disease. Since the emergence of bird flu since a few years, health ministers discussed with the WHO how to prepare a plan to counter the threat of the epidemic, building on the experience of Spanish influenza in 1918.
However, the situation with the virus (H1N1), also indicate Chan, completely different, as it is new, and no one is immune against him. As it spreads very easily, but does not cause the severe disease in most people.
And on the threats posed by this epidemic now, attached Margaret Chan, the spread of the virus with incredible speed, and unprecedented. In six weeks, the virus can travel the same distance taken for other viruses in six months! The number of injured is also not unprecedented. Has infected 30% of people in countries with high population density.
Chan notes that 60% of the deaths occur among people suffering in the foundation of other health problems. Which means that 40% of deaths occur among young people who enjoy good health, and those who die within five to seven days due to viral pneumonia. Perhaps this is the most exciting thing of concern, particularly as the treatment of these patients will be heavy and very difficult.
Chan and wonder about what will happen in the world, which has a population of 6.8 billion people if the virus struck between 20% to 30% of the population? What will happen if the disease is severe without being ready to him, especially as in many countries, often the emergency services and intensive care unit is busy, so they work in excess of capacity.
Often the result will be, according to Chan, that this disease will consume a lot of resources, and will be at the expense of those with other diseases such as cancer or heart disease or other.
On race supply vaccine against avian (H1N1), and whether there is a risk of delay in the timetable to get it, especially as the First Dynasty sent by the World Health Organization vaccination manufacturers have achieved disappointing results, Chan stressed that it will take between five to six months to develop the first installments of the vaccine, and that so far has not yet exceeded the deadline.
Chan also denied that there would be enough quantities of this vaccine in the coming months, but may increase in the future. And hit like the plan, drawn up by the fight against avian influenza virus H5N1, where the annual production capacity of vaccines against this virus in all parts of the world 450 million doses, primarily in developed countries, then rose to 900 million doses.
The remedied Chan, said that even if this were not enough so far, at least it never happened with any other epidemic in the past.
And the position of developing countries to get this vaccine, says Chan said the organization had received pledges of contributions of $ 150 million doses. And that it was to continue to negotiate to increase this amount and the purchase of additional doses, note the need to follow the basic means of prevention such as hand washing and staying at home when feeling the pain ...
And about the quality and safety of vaccines against the H1N1 virus in the future, answer the Chan lab experiments will give answers to the possible side effects of the vaccines, noting that is important and must remain clear: it is, because of the limited number of people who hold them to test the vaccine, you will not necessarily always show them the side effects are rare. It did not exclude at the same time, for example the emergence of symptoms of GBS Julian (possible neurological complications) occur in one case for every million people vaccinated.
In the end, Chan notes that even with the presence of high-quality products, there are always side effects. For this reason, WHO has issued recommendations to ensure the health control as soon as the use of the vaccine. And stresses the need to distinguish between the effects related actual vaccine, and those which coincides with the time to use it, but without having a genuine link with it. In the case of the discovery of specific side effects as a result of the vaccine, WHO will Baliktreetly immediately, which must also be done by states, which notes the emergence of side effects of the vaccination.
