outbreak in west africa between 20142016 claimed the lives of more than 11000 people back in 2007 more than 180 people were killed 12 years earlier at least 250 died in a major outbreak. thank you. let's bring in our guests joining us in geneva miss sadie's taytay she is the international medical secretary at doctors without borders in lancaster derek gatherer a viral or just an elector at lancaster university and in beni the democratic republic of congo just plain more he was a community organizer and member of a struggle for change and civil society organization welcome to the program to you all i'd like to begin with derrick gather in lancaster 1st the w.h.o. the world health organization have called this
8:27 pm
a emergency that is of international concern is a rare move by them but this is now been going on since 1976 and a lot of people have asked me and i'd like to ask you this question perhaps is a little naive but how come we haven't vaccinated this disease a way we've known about it for decades the vaccine was developed in the 1990 s. it was a lot of concern at that time about the potential use of of a pool as a biological weapon or it's used by terrorists saw the united states developed a vaccine in collaboration with several other countries and then that vaccine more a waste leon used for 2 or 3 decades even until the big outbreak in west africa and it was only then that the vaccine was was taken out of the freezers and brought up to production standards saw no fortunately we have a vaccine which is able to be used in these kind of very large outbreaks but the reason why we didn't do this before was because a baller simply wasn't regarded this big enough
8:28 pm
a problem prior to the big oprah can west africa in 2030 to 2016 so why does it become such a big problem there. that's a very interesting question we don't really know there's no indication from any of the studies of the virus genome that anything has changed in the above a virus gene and it's making it more infectious in humans it doesn't seem to have mutated in any significant way so we're looking at a virus which is fairly similar to the virus we've had in 1986 and since then and yet there seems to be more opportunity know for a poor to spread within human populations it might be because there's greater population movement that perhaps people are coming into contact more often with with animals that may be the hosts of a ball of virus and in particular we think that by acts maybe that may be the most important host of a ball the virus perhaps or the eating of bush meat and things like that that contact with animals in the forested areas it is giving more chances for the ball
8:29 pm
to cross over from its animal reservoir into human populations and we're human populations of very dangerous as we see in west africa and also in this part of eastern congo near the great lakes region which is that one of the most densely populated parts of the d.r. see it means that once it gets into humans in those kind of areas it can really take off and produce or a white spring break let me bring in the sadie's here who is from doctors without borders you recently were in the democratic republic of congo just take us through what you saw there and what the challenges are for an organization like yours trying to combat this disease. well the time disorder major. what is for sure is today one year into the outbreak. the health workers are still being infected. community that are happening and on transmission nice home going it is clear that we need to. clear up in their response and we
8:30 pm
hope that this is the. represents a major call for quantity to reset in their response let me bring in. ben in the democratic republic of congo you are there you're a community organizer from what i've been reading from the people i've been speaking to one of the reasons perhaps that the outbreak has taken place is because many people are very suspicious and nationally of the vaccine to begin with then they were very suspicious about what it might do to them is that something that you've heard from people from your community. yes you know there are many difficulties about. break. defense if it was about this strategy which was emblematic when great.
8:31 pm
yeah go in baby and they should be you know because they were maybe strangers so people from other counties resent. cities they came here in mind you know and. local. population so that like you know it's a. break. for people they came here to. see and that was one of the return a which we met here in their fights or get out. great people are and not of one is it was also about skip inspection how people trust not. so many people even if he does from new jersey from. so serious so states he they don't trust people exist
8:32 pm
and he too was also one of the chinese but even in that time and according to reports team was working people being started changing again today those people trust that's it what exists because of you so some of our brand some of our sisters who died from the border and it is really reading it it read china for people and saw. the air i knew i know this is high down it didn't beginning and that's why i feel news today in mormons for those who. which way. it would out reach to community strategies and. just. from all to count 3 or bt to see how people can commute to gain if. it were in the democratic people. let me bring in
8:33 pm
derek. existing to a very straight question you know there was suspicion we managed to get over the suspicion of people now taking the vaccines but this is a question more about strategy to you it seems to me that the strategy is ring vaccinations that is you vaccinate the 1st person that came into contact with a boa and then vaccinate everybody who is has come into contact with that person one of just vaccinate everybody. that would be what we call a mass vaccination program and it would require far more horses a vaccine than we recurrently have we've given 816-0000 doses over the last 15 months or saw and on average there's about a 100 individuals that are identified as candidates for vaccination from from each case so it's usually about 10 contacts and then about 10 more contacts with each of those contacts.
