The latest figures from the World Health Organization (WHO) Ebola haemorrhagic fever have been contradicted Saturday by the National Committee for management of the disease, which speaks of a "mistake" on the part of the UN institution, state media reported.
According to the National Committee, the disease was 126 deaths instead of 208 developed by WHO. The
Minister for Development Cooperation, Kutub Moustapha Sanoh, member of
the Committee, said that advanced by WHO in Geneva figures do not come
from his representation of Conakry.
Koutoub Moustapha Sanoh and the Minister of Health, Colonel Remy Lamah, say WHO made a "mistake" on the numbers. They indicate that there was 208 Ebola cases in general. Among them, there are 126 dead, the cured and the sick. "The representative of WHO recontacted us to say that this figure was not correct," reported Koutoub Sanoh.
"Instead
of coming to us to try to understand what the numbers represent, WHO
issued directly that there has been 208 deaths of Ebola in Guinea.
Initially we saw Doctors Without Borders speak of a unprecedented
epidemic ... This is not normal. must try to find out exactly what we
are talking ", has outraged Fode Sylla Tass, another member of the National Committee.
This is the second time that the National Committee disapproves the WHO disease. On
April 19, the Committee of national health crisis held to "grooming"
numbers after WHO has reported 122 deaths out of 197 confirmed cases. After
this correction, the technical coordinator of the WHO Ebola outbreak,
Dr. J. Bosco Ndohokvzwayo had said he must follow the communications
strategy and government figures.
In announcing this Saturday, April 7, the
latest figures on the disease, the health minister reiterated that the
spread of the disease is due to the abandonment of hygiene. Once more he asked the media to continue their support in raising awareness of the population.http://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?depth=1&hl=en&rurl=translate.google.com&sandbox=0&sl=auto&tl=en&u=http://guineenews.org/2014/06/fievre-ebola-le-comite-national-de-gestion-deplore-lerreur-de-loms/&usg=ALkJrhiThuGjQijSuG-uOYHDewuEk7rIJA
