DRC is gonna be bad I think. Uganda ain't over as much as they think either. Tell ya something thats a clue.. USUALLY the embassies of the affected country, always make a statement or update or warden message. The U.S. Embassy at Kinkasha has yet to do so, even though we have known about it more than a week.This is very unusual in my book and tells me something is funny . Here is a late story of mixed info, dated today that says Uganda has 22 dead
Ebola death toll rises in western Uganda
August 2, 2012
By Ismael Kasooh
Two more people have died of Ebola in Kibaale district, mid western Uganda taking the official death total to 16, with 19 more suspected of having the disease.
The deceased have been identified as Nicholas Asingwire, a resident of Kenga village in Kagadi Sub County and Frediano Nsabimaana, a resident of Nyamugusa village in Bwamiramira Sub County.
Dr. Dan Kyamanywa, the district health officer in Kibaale, said the two men died in the communities but were buried by the Ebola burial experts.
Dr. Kyamanywa said that the official death toll is now 16 but the community puts the death toll at 20 as four deaths were not recorded by the local health team as they occurred in the sub counties of Bwikara and Bwamiramira.
Dr. Kyamanywa confirmed that samples from the 19 patients have been sent to Kampala for testing. He said that these patients come from the sub counties of Nyamarunda, Burora, Bwamiramira, Kyaterekera, Muhorro and Kagadi town councils.
“The number of patients has gone up and we hope more will come in as more awareness is done,” said Dr. Kyamanywa.
Some patients gave an interview to the New Vision newspaper at a distance. They said that they are suffering in the isolation centre without food and water.
The newspaper reports one as saying: “We are here suffering without food and drinking water it’s good that you have come.”
The district health officer said that they are trying to look for money to feed the patients.
“It’s true that we don’t have money to feed these patients but we are making arrangements to get money and buy food for them,” said Dr. Kyamanywa.
But Dr. Kyamanywa said that Medicines Sans Frontires-MSF has donated plampenats (packed foods) ready for eating but the patients have refused to eat them.
He said that they are also monitoring the health workers in Hoima who came for the burial of the late Claire Muhumuza, a clinical officer who was working at Kagadi hospital who died from Ebola after attending to others during the outbreak.
Kyamanywa added: “We have registered 34 health workers who were in close contact with late Muhumuza and we are monitoring for at least 21 days to see if they can develop any signs and symptoms.”
Emmanuel Ssenoga, the chief administrative officer in Kibaale, said that the district has not received any government assistance because the financial year is just starting.
“We have not received any funds from the central government even for other sectors so we have no money,” said Ssenoga.
Meanwhile the district woman Member of Parliament Robinah Nabbanja has given SHS 200,000 (£51 GDP) to help feed the patients while they wait for government assistance.
The deceased have been identified as Nicholas Asingwire 5 a resident
of Kenga village in Kagadi Sub County and Frediano Nsabimaana a
resident of Nyamugusa village in Bwamiramira Sub County.
Dr. Dan Kyamanywa the district health officer Kibaale said that these
people died in the communities but were buried by the Ebola burial
experts.
Dr. Dan said that the death toll is now 16 but the community puts the
death toll at 20.
“Our records show that now the number of people who have succumbed to
the disease is 16,” said Kyamanywa.
Some four deaths were not recorded by the health team and occurred in
the sub counties of Bwikara and Bwamiramira.
Dr. Kyamanywa said that the sample of the 19 patients have been sent
to Kampala for confirmation.
He said that these patients were collected from the sub counties of
Nyamarunda, Burora, Bwamiramira, Kyaterekera, Muhorro and Kagadi town
councils.
“The number of patients has gone up and we hope more will come in as
more awareness is done,” said Dr. Kyamanywa.
The patients who talked to the New Vision at a distance said that they
are suffering in the isolation centre without food and water.
“We are here suffering without food and drinking water it’s good that
you have come,” the patients shouted.
The district health officer said that they are trying to look for
money to feed the patients but in actual sense there is no money.
“It’s true that we don’t have money to feed these patients but we are
making arrangements to get money and buy food for them,” said Dr.
Kyamanywa.
But Dr. Kyamanywa said that Medicines Sans Frontires-MSF has donated
plampenats (packed foods) ready for eating but the patients have
refused to eat them.
“We have these ready foods in store but patients have refused eat
them,” said Kyamanywa.
He said that they are also monitoring the health worker in Hoima who
came for the burial of late Claire Muhumuza a clinical officer who was
working at Kagadi hospital.
Meanwhile Kyamanywa said that they have registered all health workers
who came into contact with late Claire Muhumuza and being monitored.
“We have registered 34 health workers who were in close contact with
late Muhumuza and we are monitoring for at least 21 days to see if
they can develop any signs and symptoms,” said Kyamanywa.
The chief administrative officer Kibaale Emmanuel Ssenoga when
contacted said that the district has not received any funds from the
centre because the financial year is just starting.
“We have not received any funds from the central government even for
other sectors so we have no money,” said Ssenoga.
Meanwhile the district woman Member of Parliament Robinah Nabbanja has
given shs.200,000 to help in feeding the patients as they wait for
