The Director-General, West African Health Organisation (WAHO), Stanley Okolo, on Monday called on the regional countries to remain alert as the Ebola epidemic resurfaced in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).

“This is a wake-up call on all member countries to always remain alert and prepared,” he said in a statement in Banjul.

Okolo said WAHO had already sent information to the countries reminding them of the international disease surveillance records and regulations that they should use.

“We have also helped some of the countries in terms of support for monitoring travelers at borders, who are coming in from the DRC,” he said.

WAHO liaison officers representing the regional countries are currently discussing health problems including disease surveillance and insufficient health care budgeting in Banjul ahead of the 19th Ordinary Assembly of ECOWAS Ministers on Tuesday, when key decisions will be adopted.

The latest data from the health ministry shows 53 cases of Ebola in the outbreak, including 37 confirmed, 13 probable and three suspected cases.

One new suspected case was recorded on Monday in the rural community of Iboko and five suspected cases came back negative, the health ministry said.

This is the ninth outbreak of Ebola in Congo since the disease was first detected in the country in 1976.

Health officials have moved aggressively to head off a repeat of the 2013-16 outbreak in West Africa that killed over 11,300 people.

The vaccine was first rolled out in Mbandaka on May 21 and hailed as a paradigm shift in the fight against Ebola by the World Health Organisation (WHO).

The WHO said in May that it was cautiously optimistic about the progress of the response yet Mbandaka’s location directly upstream the Congo River of the capital Kinshasa, a city of more than 10 million people, remains a concern.

This deadly disease is being release by suspecting entities with one intention only: to wipe out the black race

yet my fellow black people has never ever in the history of time being proactive to develop a counter measure to these threats

all we know how to do is to born like pigs, kill ourselves over senseless issues, glorify useless norms and expect things to just disappear

Hunger, warfare, overpopulation, environmental disaster, diseases, drought, underdevelopment and every form of backwardness is associated with this race.

yet one wonders why the Africa continent remains dark with no meaningful contribution to this modern era

No be only WAHO na WAWU

What is d use of WAHO if WHO and United Nations always have to b d ones at d forefront of deadly outbreaks in d region.. WAHO is more like a YAHO organisation

Again? A stitch in time...
