  • A box with child-sized body bags at the Nongo Ebola Treatment Centre, Conakry, Guinea. <br />
<br />
At the peak of the Ebola outbreak in Guinea, the Nongo Ebola treatment centre had so many patients arriving at its gates that people were left to die on the gravel outside. <br />
“One night, 28 people died here. I still have nightmares, I saw too many dead people,” said Dr Mohammed Keita, manager of the centre where he was in charge of 250 employees.  <br />
The former Ebola treatment centre appears abandoned. Boot stands and shelves once filled with protective gear and chlorine spray backpacks lie empty.  <br />
<br />
Keita tells how one night a pregnant woman came in to the centre. She was already bleeding and very ill. It was too late to save her. She gave birth to a baby girl before she died. <br />
“That little baby was blessed by God,” he said, pointing to a photo of the child taped to the wall where patient records and lists of staff mark the wall. <br />
<br />
She tested positive for Ebola and we were prepared to lose her as well. Then, a few days later, she tested negative for the disease. We all looked after her here, naming her Nubia after one of the health workers who worked at the centre.<br />
<br />
Since the Ebola outbreak ended, the treatment centre is now caring for people with other infectious diseases including measles, yellow fever and other diseases with potential to cause epidemics.

  • Sekou Minkailou, (centre) chief of Matam district in Conakry, worked closely with the team from WHO to convince his people to participate in the Ebola vaccine trial. In Matam district, 10 people, including a doctor, had already died during the outbreak and people were frightened of this new disease that they had never seen before in their country.<br />
“People were so scared, they refused to follow the advice from the government and health workers. They didn’t even want the Red Cross to be involved. They hid the bodies of people who died from Ebola because there was such horrible stigma attached to the family once it was touched by Ebola.”<br />
<br />
Minkailou and his colleagues in the district office were often the first people to have contact with families when a new Ebola case was announced. “We feel really happy, so relieved that this vaccine protects us,” he said.

  • Aboubacar Sylla, aged 79, lost 4 members of his family in the Ebola outbreak of 2014-15. <br />
<br />
His daughter M’Mah was one of the lucky ones. As soon as she started showing symptoms of the deadly disease, her father made sure that she was taken straight to hospital where early treatment helped save her life. <br />
<br />
Surrounded by multiple generations of his large family at their home in the district of Dixinn Port, Conakry, Sylla tells how the family was shunned by their own community when Ebola struck his family.<br />
<br />
“Before the Ebola outbreak, everyone talked to one another here. Then suddenly we weren’t even allowed to leave our house,” he said.<br />
<br />
People stopped using the well in the open area in front of their home for fear of contamination and the children were forbidden to step out past the boundary of their front courtyard where they were used to playing.<br />
<br />
M’Mah was not living in the family house when she got sick, but her brother Aboubacar was the one who went to her house where she was living with her husband and took her to the Ebola treatment centre in Nongo. <br />
<br />
“Everyone was so scared of Ebola but I couldn’t just abandon my sister. She would have died,” he said, telling how his decision to ride in the ambulance with her caused division within the family.<br />
<br />
Since then, even though he never got sick, Aboubacar has suffered stigma from his contact with Ebola and has found it difficult to get work anymore. <br />
<br />
As soon as M’Mah arrived at the Ebola treatment centre, the disease surveillance system alerted the vaccine trial team of this new case. The team sent two local social mobilizers, trained specifically by WHO for this delicate role, to visit the family and to ask if they would agree to participate in a research trial to help develop a vaccine against Ebola. <br />
The Guinea vaccine trial, led by WHO, used a method called ring vaccination. This method, used to eradicate smallpox, aims to vaccinate a “ring” of all the people who had close contact with the p

On 16 June, more than 500 people gathered to commemorate the Day of the African Child in Nairobi, Kenya, and to speak up publicly for the rights of children and adolescents living with HIV. Religious leaders from a range of different faith communities and traditions led a march through the streets of Nairobi, from the All Saints Cathedral to Ufungamano House, accompanied by hundreds of youth and young children from local faith-sponsored schools, after which a ceremony was held where the religious leaders committed publicly to work for children's rights to HIV testing, access to treatment, and freedom from stigma and discrimination, to make sure that those who are in need of treatment are also able to stay on treatment. The day was organized by the World Council of Churches Ecumenical Advocay Alliance together with Inerela+ Kenya, with contributions from a range of other partners. At end of the ceremony, the WCC-EAA launched a global Call to Action entitled "Act now for children and adolescents living with HIV", which was signed by the range of religious leaders.
