3:06 pm
al-jazeera. problems besides the instability is corruption we listen. are pushing the united states and president trump into conflict we meet with global newsmakers and the stories that matter is iraq. i am for me ok but i really could be here in the street today in the democratic republic of congo be contained where look at how health workers are trying to prevent the spread of the deadly disease and if you're in a country that's been affected by a bowl or would like to hear about your experiences whether snow via twitter or in our live chat. i have 1st of all our operation square meter and you are in the stream.
3:07 pm
along about an outbreak in the democratic republic of the congo has now been declared an international health emergency by the world health organization is there to the designation was made after the virus was detected last week in the country's largest city goma over 2500 people have been infected and more than 700 have died since august making it the 2nd deadliest apolo epidemic on record fever checks have been stepped up at the borders and in east of parts the country efforts to stop a bonus spread have been complicated by violence from and conspiracy theories that have hindered a public health out which treatment facilities have also enjoyed violent attacks from locals frightened that health workers are responsible for spreading the disease so how can a bowl of be contained or with us to talk about these issues of dr subway molong a senior lecturer at the university hospital of kinshasa and you know they cameroon
3:08 pm
yet boom with a person. africa which is the research arm of doctors without borders and. an editor with light magazine welcome to the stream everyone good to see you gentlemen there's something i have to show you in particular i want to show you this having looked on my laptop this is from helen brands well she writes about infectious diseases and she starts here another health worker in deol c. has been infected with a bowler 138 of this outbreak and then let me just show you 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 of a bowl or a single health worker this deep into this current outbreak would be infected with a boat because of health workers been infected what hope do regular people have. you know that's. when the we could. see live if
3:09 pm
it. but to delia challenge and the health care worker for people so we're live for you have a suspect the keys it will go into the health care workers and those people a point especially you know. they want to have all the protection you want have gloves you one have all what is needed to actually protect them so that's one and suddenly you know it. may be like my libya and many orders so it's very difficult for them to figure out these patients which is coming my half so it gets. even today i can't get that the beginning because you're not even sure what it is at the beginning but. they about a crisis in the d r c that i have had. about a crisis how was it possible that even in rue areas that the health workers are not way. here you know when you see that you make the assumption that this. is
3:10 pm
connected to internet t.v. to reach you and so on that's not right you have 5 places where you have no power no electricity. connected so when. it's a price before you realize the contract the disease and because of the conflict some of them have not aware of what is happening. that is a perfect the 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. i agree with. is about the condition of the very closely it is in in the in that region
3:11 pm
but what i would like to. cross is occur in. economic crises does mean. that every person it is that the harm or the means to control the action so that their hard running waters they don't have protection don't have. all the 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. ball is just reflect the system need to be to be improved and we have seen that in previous previous us a break as long as the case is in the community. attempt to stop by itself but itself as soon as is rich hospital where the level of action is
3:12 pm
not is not agreed so it's got to spread the hospital payroll like if you question of the heartbreak so i think you boys are crises. inside the economy crisis over to you george let me just bring you into this conversation because during a sad kind of 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 is our health phantom manager at his house sent us band down recently this is what he had to say about having us. as you can see bandits came to burn the center for sorting a boa case. because they 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
3:13 pm
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 government. so your reporting on the crisis can you give us some insight into why health care sometimes where people down and explain why. you have the. national community has to notice that even before ok. back to power because it was already way too many showers groups who have been paid on time and. you know it for want it very very weak grounds even a political leader she was how did it be weakened specially in this region of the east and region of call by for example like.
3:14 pm
forces if i mean i have several nice house. to me so all the garbage my cast 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
3:15 pm
threat that some health workers are facing because of the issues there in person here in this you tube comments and it's a $21.00 also. presidential election has been postponed into street area so therefore the community how. does the. election took advantage of it there for what's up so they consider that a help or part of the government somehow so therefore they would really last one camera going to. as many orders. the life i'm just thinking about this issue of. how much to people know about and i'm thinking if you have experience if you know anything about that he's going to in a day are saying but not so for me one of the biggest issues is education and
3:16 pm
spreading the word this is the former health minister explaining exactly what the problem is with the current crisis have a listen to what he had to say. i would also like to remind you that the case of goma is linked to a pastor and that the case of uganda is also a family of a pastor the pastor had died because he also refused to get treatment he continued to do the practice of laying of hands he died of a boat and then contaminated his family. a boner is a reality a boner is not supernatural a boner is not paranormal a bowl is disease that is caused by a virus it is a disease that is curable when patients are treated very rarely. seem so obvious to us who got to grips with what stops it from spreading but that's a former health minister trying to explain to the country what about this. maybe
3:17 pm
a little let me tell you quickly a short story. that was last year when. we were sitting there. and i was talking with one of the survivors trying to figure out what the people that. can point to meet different people were walking we've. come a point we just realized that those people will not win. those people we're actually all in danger we were injured because we didn't know it would be so we can even imagine that it might be a ritual in. place they have no idea what it will feel some of them so it's a huge huge huge huge what you've been doing to educate the population and raise
3:18 pm
awareness. and of course complicating the story even further was this news that came out this week just on monday dear seems health minister who you just saw in that clip there quits over government handling of it both he stepped down after the president's office took charge of the d.r. congo's deadly ebola epidemic he tweeted out his resignation letter and in that tweet he also mentioned this which i've highlighted here because people in our community are picking up on it he says it would be fanciful to think that a new vaccine proposed by actors who have shown an obvious lack of ethics by voluntarily hiding information from medical authorities could have a significant impact on the control of the current outbreak so dr subgroup subway i'd like to talk about that vaccine because this from albert on twitter here's his take he says given the minister's explanation it appears that there are ethical and practical concerns that those advocating for a new vaccine should address
3:19 pm
a new vaccine would hurt lives are at risk and the vaccine currently use can't be trusted so talk to us about the 2 vaccines at issue here. after subway yes so yes you are getting the vaccine i think the. current leader is a one vaccine. have been used and since the last. is the b.s.p. vaccine from the american company so the scene is experimental roxanne is not license yet have been used to west africa break or so in the break and now in the know north kivu and. this is. a recommendation from that bridge you saw. recently so there has been discussion about the and to adoption of 2nd bites in and again is doubly sure
3:20 pm
to. an advisory group that rich or i think you. and your accommodation was like this so they're recommend to continue to use the correct vaccine deviously vaccine for the contact of contact and also from the plant light. workers so this is the 1st requirement and or so. they say that they are open to to to test the 2nd box in about out of design of the current outbreak that was the requirement this in so in order if you know how as how effective are these vaccines what do we know about them the johnson and johnson one which is the new one and the mark one. for the for the 1st world there is nothing. called truck. or.
3:21 pm
seductive. magic i'm just imagining that i am i living. and all i want to know is will it save my life right when can you tell me that. when you actually think should i say well it's my life that's all i care about that's all i can well. yeah yeah that's not so i care about people dying around health workers are dying i just want to know is it time to save my life dr let me just take you back to west africa when we were using them right now nobody is saying yes to me that's scary. if you take me back to west africa which was the worst outbreak on record all right and that's the only one that gave these facts so if you can so each week that we would have done. so why it took
3:22 pm
a while as well why not indeed was the debate that's a question i think the. concerns raised. would provide evidence that this is a trial and we. need to provide. right so maybe we've touched upon something here now in my community have touched on something here and there is a realty page and a fight going on behind the scenes to watch what you know about this. yeah behind the scenes is. there is some kind of distrust now difficulty because people aren't used to it fools that is trained to say we really are you know about see it is a little of the cd it is confusing and from that the local communities here the
3:23 pm
folks how. this image anybody because this is happening in the 4 decades cold war seemed so many people from the waist coming and you know the knot is the wildest. sort of you know the con interested in the resources of lady gold so that a lot of all the folk also think that maybe that is. due to take the and. rich so that they can somehow land resources or call lately they are down for decades since quite wisely bury it before that and when you look at it in a lot lately the ordinary person may want to understand the whole idea to these seen. the island now that it means starting safe came out to decide he.
3:24 pm
sees that one need not actually cause solution in dollars of the need to deal with a lot of people but also what's in the. oath box nation. and drugs i'm glad that you mentioned the ordinary person your average person because we got a video comment from someone who says it's because of those average people here every day people that we need more than just a medical response we need more of a human to human response so this is a common we got from anne marie connor of the national director of the charity world vision international and here's what she told the stream. you know i want you all right here. me here in the. informal here's my here's all things are said to the finest of all that. they were married to me and how.
3:25 pm
much. information that they share. and each individual. gene. so yaps is saying this is more then a medical response that we need what do you make of that you know it's more done much more than that and beyond. can use i mentioned is the zone of conflict so it would be hard to solve all 3 if we don't solve the conflict that is defined so because those people fighting and going to accept the response team to support team wendy believe that they're coming from the people well right so they need a political engagement more than what you have there is no way a technique i thought he should be solved that we could problem. i want to show our
3:26 pm
audience just to remind us where the d r c is and then also to look at where the areas that are most at risk happen to be so let's start with the map let's start with the epicenter of the about a crisis we're going to put that off on t.v. so you can see it there you go many north kivu province is the epicenter let me show you how many cases to date that we have seen of a bowler and also the number of deaths as well in the dark or unsure about see these are the country's highest risk of a boulder getting outside of the d.r. see already traveled into uganda that was from a family who had been in the d r c n n let me show in the pale orange areas areas that are at risk but at a lesser risk i am just wondering dr what a global health emergency for the d.l.c. about a crisis what does that do that changes that that map those areas of risk right now
3:27 pm
doc to go ahead. yes this is somewhat so i think. the bump will change so the situation before the declaration and after the declaration. is not changing the things is changing now is the owen is. now we have a case in goa so the risk of the spread of the disease. increased so to do this is to cross the border and to become an international concern so but in the ground india asked the. activity to response the activity will continue the period of the response activity will continue. but in the international level there will be more engagement of the government to bring more resources to control the other break in india
3:28 pm
elsie and the neighboring country have the same risk related to to to the people with tribe or across the border to those country so i guess that still the same blood awareness is just increasing and now we need to to put more for 2 and a break where is the target. someone on twitter this is lawyer who picks up on what you're saying there and says that this declaration does not release any more funds for the w.h.o. but what it does do is ensure that the world knows that the outbreak of such a severity 2 is to warrant that classification there is so much that needs to be done in such a short space of time but when it comes to what more needs to be done as you mentioned there we got a video comment from someone in durban south africa and he calls for a pan african approach have a listen. i would like to see ministers of help from across the southern
3:29 pm
african development community work in partnership with the african center for disease control to mobilize resources and to provide technical assistance to the ministry of health of the d r c so that we can ensure that human rights and the right to health is at the center of or prevention and response occasion events and to express remit regional solidarity at a time of tremendous crisis for people often see it's a time for us to pull together at a time for us to work together as africans. so you there is calling for an african response what do you. make a declaration i think 2 days ago already called the peace and security council so that they can. respond and also the but i want to go beyond.
3:30 pm
the continent i mean also all the african diaspora they can also find a way to support. we have to feel. quite a number of those. i think it's time also on the porch for africa to solve this issue michael all. right thank you so much. in the context. right now and i'm trying to share the information about what is happening in the. particular. live right now. from our online audience i will end with this tweet from howard who says hopefully lessons can be learned from experiences in liberia and sierra leone where local institutions including religious actors played essential roles in overcoming stigma and misinformation in communities that are tackling.
3:32 pm
