well goma is a city of about 2000000 people so there are fears though that just a few cases of the deadly virus could spread rapidly in the region and you can see where goma is located its close to the border with rwanda and its now been a year since the original outbreak of ebola elsewhere in the d. R. C. And that outbreak is still claiming lives. After another death from a bullet in the congolese border city of goma rwanda closed throughout the trust attempt to limit the diseases spread but one that threatened the life of those who commute between the countries but just hours later it was open again with the u. N. Seeing Border Closure actually makes it harder to contain the disease he will find another way there is there are more remote areas where you can do across the many border you can find a different way when you will not start standing up to the ability to see people or symptomatic or not because that is actually by inductees and one of the issues is
either Country Protesters further north in congo demanded more Action Picketing un headquarters another death to add to the 2500. 00 people already affected surprise that there is panic and confusion on both sides of the border. Are and we can talk now to Margaret Harris of the World Health Organization she is in the congolese town of bani north of goma and you saw her in our report there a very good day on how big is the risk of ebola spreading from goma. Weve always been concerned about ebola arriving in gun months so in fact theres been 6 months of really this work going on to go out with being vaccinating all the Front Line Health Care workers weve been training people to improve Infection Prevention and Control Practices and weve been teaching people how to decontaminate so its never been a thing we want to happen but it was something we did expect to happen and we had
been prepared for it but indeed it is it gets into a large city and as you mentioned instigate way to another country with very busy land border is at the moment. That needs to be done is being done so they ease no reason to panic but still one year on the fight against the bowl is far from over can you outline for us what makes it so challenging for Congolese Health authorities to contain this deadly epidemic. I would say one with a lack of trust and lack of trust by the people themselves in Health Care Workers in the people who have been to the authorities and people who come from outside which is us so weve come to help but were not seeing that as the good guys were seeing as people imposing something that people dont want sometimes in some communities even believe that weve brought people and that weve brought
people or because for some reason we want to be working in this just hit with this to difficult and terrible of the disease but you can understand they have never seen it before and it is a frightening thing to have to run now its terrifying i can only imagine now what one of the things that is being done theres been a strong drive to vaccinate people how is that effort going. So that is going actually very well and its extraordinary 95 percent over 95 percent of people who are offered the facts seen and want the vaccine whenever we have had it confirmed case we have people lining up and immediately of explanations get on the ground as soon as we know that a case is a net out x. Nation team goes the next day said south and accidents all the people who have been in contact with that person but the sick person and also the contacts of those contexts and even further contacts of contacts to form
a ring of immunization around the person who is sick but the problem is we dont always find all the people who are in contact with that see person because a sip of full is still this real problem with trust and some people whove been in contact with the sick person fear being identified and fear being taken to the opponent Treatment Center which is tragic because if you are going to be a good Treatment Center within the 1st couple of days if you have to see you have a really really good chance of survival were seeing you know overnight visits are viable but if you go ladies within 78. 00 days of the symptoms starting you highly likely to die and youre also likely to visit to many other people including the people most dear to you such a good point that you make there are Margaret Harris that can be treated if its detected early enough thank you for joining us Margaret Harris from the World Health Organization and betty.
