From Ebola Response to Recovery: The case of President Koroma’s Post-Ebola Recovery and Transition

President Koroma’s Post-Ebola Recovery and Transition Programme is almost six months old, and by all indications, there are remarkable improvements in the key priority areas of the delivery plan in all the fourteen districts. Under the health sector, for example, majority of the districts have benefited immensely – from the construction of temporary triage and isolation facilities, in some hospitals to permanent structures in community health centres to meet infection prevention compliance; on-going intensive disease surveillance and monitoring; improved WASH facilities in peripheral health centres; district-wide vaccination and intensive support for EVD survivors among several others.

Mon, 2016-03-14 17:18 — davidmc

FREETOWN, SIERRA LEONE—

As 2016 begins, Daddy Hasan Kamara, one of more than 4,000 Ebola survivors in Sierra Leone, is grateful to have his children with him. They mean the world to him.

Nine of his family members were not so lucky and died from the disease, including one son.

“I’m really suffering, I’m really seeing things very hard,” Kamara said.

Since his recovery, he has not been able to find work. He has eight children and two sisters to care for.

Researchers conduct study of Ebola survivors in Sierra Leone

Mon, 2016-03-14 15:39 — davidmc

Researchers from the University's Institute of Translational Medicine have conducted a study of Ebola survivors to describe the medical problems they continue to have after recovering from the acute disease. The results of which have been published in the journal Emerging Infectious Diseases.

This week it was widely reported that a British Nurse, Pauline Cafferkey, who was thought to have made a full recovery from Ebola, has been taken to a hospital for a third time due to what health officials described as delayed complications from the virus -- raising further questions about the long-term impact of the disease on survivors. Cafferkey is one of thousands of survivors who have reported suffering from issues that appear to be related to late effects of the virus.
