I'm in the agreeably distracted position of being carried across the Baltic Sea from Turku to Stockholm--so blogging will be minimal today. However, here's an item from Radio Moto Butembo-Beni: SYDIP / Butembo: Women Supportive of Replacement of Ineffective Ebola Response Agents. The Google translation:
The response team should think about replacing their staff who are so inefficient. It must thus make a permanent evaluation of the agents who render a service in order to put an end to Ebola.
These recommendations were among those made by 54 women participating in a brainstorming session organized on Monday 09 September 2019 by the Women's Department and gender promotion of SYDIP in Butembo.
Women deplore the stressful conditions in which pregnant women, breastfeeding women and their children under 5 are placed. They want the transfer to the Transit Center or the Ebola Treatment Center to be done after confirmation of the positive case of Ebola. KAVIRA SAAMBILI Denise, animator of the department of women and promotion of the genre confided this Tuesday, September 10, 2019 to Radio Moto Butembo-Beni to restore us the essence of this consultation.
"We have found that there is frustration of children, children's moms. When they are at the CT level, the child is separated from his mother. This can cause trauma in the coming days, it can cause problems in the future. The relationship between the suspect child and his family members must be well managed.
"There must also be a department at the CT level for children; and there must be a psychologist adapted to the level of children. We thought we should hire people who master the psychology of the child but also arrange the environment there in relation to the level of children. For the TCs, it has been found to be an innovation. And the disease is really new here at home. That CT services be an annex to the hospital where we are used to treating ourselves."
Participating women also recommended improving the delivery of the Communication and Psychology Commissions of the Ebola Response Team.
