8:12 am
show you i want to show you this having a con my laptop this is from helen brand's well she writes about infectious diseases and she starts here another health worker has been infected with the boa 138 of this outbreak and then let me just say here 138 contaminated health workers yeah how is it possible with a bone in the d r c that is a known infectious disease with the west africa crisis from several years ago but a single health worker this deep into this current outbreak would be infected with a boat because of health workers being infected what hope to regular people. you know that's. when the we. we see live. but. the health care worker for people so we're live for you have a suspect the keys it will go to health care workers people
8:13 am
a point. they want have all the protection you want have you one have all what is needed to actually put. one in you know it. may be like malaria and many orders so it's very difficult for them to figure out which is coming my half. even today i can't get that the beginning because you're not even sure what it is at the beginning. and the about a crisis in the d r c that i have had many about a crisis how was it be possible that even in rue areas that the health workers are not ready. because you know when you see that you make the assumption that you have . to intend to t.v. to reach you and so on that's not right you have places where you have no power no
8:14 am
electricity to do with people connected so when. it's a place before you realize the contract the disease and because of the culture some of them have not aware of what is happening. that is a perfect to answer for this question here diana horton on you tube is asking why does this keep happening so i heard your perspective there yeah i'll give this one to you dr subway because of course people outside of this region are still wondering why we're seeing the numbers like we're seeing today what's your take on that doctor. agree well. about the condition of the very closely it is in in the in that region but what i would like to. cross is occur in the. economic crisis does mean. the air plus it is that the harm or the means to
8:15 am
control the action so that the hard running waters they don't have a protection and the hub. all basic things that helps hospitals to control. and what happened when when the level of hospital is not is not high. contamination contamination occurs so the. does that make these bullies just reflect the system need to be to be improved and we have seen that in previous previous us rate as long as the cases in the community. tend to stop by itself but itself soon is reach hospital where the level of action is not is not agreed so it's got to spread the hospital payroll like if you cation of the heartbreak so i think you boys are crises.
8:16 am
inside the economy crisis over to you just let me just bring you into this conversation because during a sad kind about a crisis to happen attacks on health care workers and attacks on health care centers i want to play you this little clip because one happened just recently this is now said palooka who are sometimes manager at his house sent of a span down recently this is what he had to say about having less. as you can see bandits came to burn the center for sorting a bola case. because there were going to be more like. we were getting a lot of sick people this whole community was coming to get treatment here 20 to 25 patients a day but. let the government ensure the safety of its health workers the authority of the state must be restored in this environment that is beyond the control of the
8:17 am
government. so your reporting on the crisis can you give us some insight into why health care sometimes where people down and explain to. you how the. national community has to not be nice that even if it were ok. back to power because it was already way too many shaz groups who have been paid on time and. you know it for want it very very weak grounds we have even a political leader she well i don't really get the weekend specially in this region all the east and regional call. for example like. forces if i made my decision room nice house.
8:18 am
to leave so they got it might pass the political we have been there about these militias has made it very easy because. the militias of course are not making it easy but in addition to that we're seeing people online say that there is also just a general fear mistrust and a lack of understanding on what's going on so this is a common we got from someone on you tube live donald says the area is remote in most cases superstitious people handle the dead they think health care workers are the cause and not the problem many of these areas are war torn talking about the conflict you were mentioning there george but you have talked to us about the threat that some health workers are facing because of the issue is there in person here in this you tube comment mentioned it's a chinese $1.00 also is that presidential election has been postponed into
8:19 am
st area so therefore the community how. does the government. take advantage of it there for what's up so they consider the health part of the government somehow so therefore they will. be lost one camera going to. a lady or does. life i'm just thinking about this issue of. how much do people know about it i'm thinking if you have experience if you know anything about that you're going to need to ask.
