Ebola is the biggest threat in Sierra Leone. |
Last Friday, a senior official with Doctors Without
Borders said that the Ebola outbreak is “totally out of control.” This deadly
disease is still ruining many of lives in West Africa – Guinea, Liberia and
Sierra Leone – and more than 330 deaths occurred so far. However, Sierra Leone
defends Doctor Without Borders’ thought to Ebola outbreak.
But Sierra Leone's Deputy Minister of Information and
Communications Theo Nicol said that criticism is unfair, saying that his
country has worked hard to educate people about how to stop the spread of the
disease and has declared a state of emergency in the area where people have
died.
"So if (Doctors Without Borders) is now saying
that the disease is out of control, then we all share the blame for it being
uncontrollable," he said. "We should all share the blame and later on
share the credit when we finally combat the disease, which will be soon."
Today, I received LiST Training Report in Kenya
from Michael and devised World Vision Sierra Leone Action Plan. I expect that
analyzing LiST would be of great service to infant/maternal health in Sierra
Leone.
