A 4-year-old boy dies from Ebola in Uganda when we return to aid

Ebola’s explosion in Uganda, which seemed to be in the retreat, reported a recent victim: a 4-year-old boy who died on Monday, according to the cable of the State Department viewed by the Recent York Times.

The news of the death of a child appears even when the Trump administration canceled at least four out of five contracts with organizations that helped manage the explosion. He also placed Ebola’s response manager to USAID on administrative leave.

The Uganda Ministry informed US officials about death on Thursday. The confirmed case has not yet been announced by the Uganda government and the World Health Organization, but federal officials involved in the answer alerted the White House on Thursday evening.

“Continuous support from completed prizes is not only necessary to save life, but also necessary in the protection of the Health and Security of the United States and the global community,” wrote William W. Popp, US ambassador to Uganda.

Uganda has experienced a earnest ebol explosion since January, which seemed to go back. The recent case leads the total number of cases to 10, including two deaths. The first known mortality, a 32-year-old nurse, was reported at the end of January.

The cable said that the boy’s family was looking for him in three different hospitals, and died in the third national hospital recommending Mulago in Kampala. According to the child’s father, his three siblings were ailing, but they recovered.

The cable said that the boy’s mother and her newborn baby died for unknown reasons in January.

The boy’s death indicates that the virus is still circulating, and the country has returned to a more dynamic response, according to the cable. Officials in Uganda began examining death by following the child’s contacts and sequencing the virus.

USAID was heavily involved in the reaction of Ebola in Uganda, but in recent weeks Trump’s administration has slowed down its activities, reducing the number of people involved in an epidemics from over 50 to just six.

Although USAID is not the only supporter of the explosion reaction, he was essential. For example, the federal administration of strategic readiness and reaction can provide treatments, and USAID can buy filter pumps that provide treatment.

The replaced USAID agreements financed Ebola screening at Uganda airports and protective equipment for healthcare professionals and helped prevent the transfer by people who survived the disease, according to the former agency official who asked for anonymous behavior because of fear of retaliation.

According to an official at the ENTEBBE airport in Uganda, the review was stopped for over two weeks due to the freezing of Trump’s administration in the field of foreign assistance. The group that did this, the international migration organization, decided a few days ago to resume work with their own funds. His contract was terminated on Wednesday evening.

The first patient from Ebola in the current explosion went to six healthcare facilities before his death, which prompted Uganda’s government to ask the United States for protective equipment for healthcare employees.

USAID takes such equipment in a warehouse in Nairobi, Kenya. But his employees could not communicate with WHO, which managed the object.

USAID officials eventually paid about 100,000 USD for the purchase of protective equipment elsewhere, but the contract with this supplier was canceled.

US officials involved in an attempt to stop Ebola’s outbreak are trying to restore agreements, noting that work is key to prevent the disease from spreading to other countries, including the United States.

“The cessation of partners’ actions is a earnest risk of Uganda’s ability to respond effectively and conclude a virus,” said the cable.
