Ebola Treatment Facilities in United States
Minnesota



MINNEAPOLIS — The CDC has named University of Minnesota Medical Center a regional Ebola treatment center, the state Department of Health announced June 12, 2015.

The Health Department received a five-year, $3.25 million federal grant to establish the Ebola treatment center. The grant will be used to build hospital containment units that can treat two Ebola patients at the same time and over time the hospital will be able to treat 4 Ebola patients at the same time making Minnesota a good place to treat Ebola patients that arrive from Sierra Leone, Liberia, Nigeria and other countries infected with Ebola.



Minnesota high population of West Africans Sierra Leone, Nigeria, Liberia residents will be happy to know they can soon get American healthcare for Ebola while staying in the United States and that their families that get Ebola after coming for a visit to Minnesota can also be treated for Ebola.


Minnesota Ebola hospitals that accept Ebola patients will also accept Ebola infected people from other parts of the United States and Ebola patients from other countries outside of the United States. Every state will continue to have local hospitals prepared to treat Ebola patients that continue to come in to the United States every day and that will be monitored for the deadly Ebola Virus.

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn – .

Unity Hospital opened its new biocontainment unit to treat Ebola patients here.

It has spent about a million dollars in the process.



Unity Hospital President Helen Strike explained, “That million dollars that we spent, a lot of it went to staff training, which is good. We spent about 350 to 400-thousand on the unit itself and down in our emergency room, preparing a room for assessment.”

Intensive Care Unit Charge Nurse Darla Dooley said, “It’s exciting to take care of that type of patient and you feel like you can give the care they need.”

If Ebola goes away what happens to this investment?

All the money spent on training staff and creating Unity’s biocontainment unit will not go to waste. It is improving care for other patients.



Said Strike, “We’ve developed training systems and ways to care for patients, regardless of what they have, based on things we’ve learned from this experience.”

Dr. Jeffrey Dichter, medical director of the Unity Intensive Care Unit said, “We’re really prepared through this experience, especially to really care for whatever might walk on our doorstep or whatever the infection of concern a year from now might be.”

Unity is one of four Minnesota hospitals designated to treat Ebola patients. The others are the Mayo Clinic, Children’s Hospitals and Clinics and the University of Minnesota.



The University of Minnesota has also received federal funding to be the regional center to handle highly-infectious diseases.

Washington Spokane hospital building Ebola treatment

OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) – Federal officials have announced that the state of Washington will receive a five-year grant to help prepare the Pacific Northwest’s regional Ebola treatment center.

State Department of Health officials say the grant will help the center better manage potential Ebola cases and patients with other infectious diseases.

Providence Sacred Heart Medical Center in Spokane is the response center for Region X, which includes Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Alaska.

The department will use the first-year’s installment of $2.4 million to build capacity at Sacred Heart, which plans to establish a 10-bed isolation unit.

The grant is part of a federally funded project to build a national network of special pathogen treatment centers.

The first-year’s grant will be followed by smaller amounts in the next four years, totaling $3.25 to $4.6 million.

Ebola Treatment Facilities in United States the federal government has designated nine hospitals across the country to be designated treatment centers, including the University Of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston.

UTMB has been a center for infectious disease research for decades, and was already chosen as an Ebola treatment center by the state of Texas. But the federal designation means UTMB will get more than $3.25 million over the next five years to train staff members and buy protective suits and equipment.

Each of the nine hospitals will become a go-to Ebola treatment center for a specific region.

UTMB will accept Ebola patients from Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana and New Mexico. All the hospitals will be required to accept patients within eight hours of being notified, must be able to treat at least two Ebola patients at the same time, and have the ability to handle Ebola-contaminated waste.

The hospitals will also be able to treat patients with other severe, highly infectious diseases.

Michigan hospitals admits Ebola patients Ebola Virus Outbreak Map

Ebola Treatment Facilities in United States The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has established three national Ebola training and prevention centers, and the state of Michigan also recently received more than $5.5 million to battle the virus.

But is the funding is needed now that the threat is waning? The short answer from local health officials is yes.

According to the Centers for Disease Control, “the 2014 Ebola epidemic is the largest in history, affecting multiple countries in West Africa.” Those countries include Sierra Leone, Guinea and Liberia.

As of March, Michigan’s health departments have continually monitored more than 100 people who traveled to West Africa for Ebola symptoms. None have been diagnosed with the disease.

“I think that ever since the cases left the United States or there were no more cases in the United States, we kind of forgot about it,” said Brian Hartl, an epidemiologist with the Kent County Health Department. “I think just the fact that we kind of put it in the background a little bit kind of speaks to the need for it, ’cause I think that’s kind of human nature to put something behind you if you don’t see it all the time. And with Ebola, obviously, you always need to be prepared.”

Hartl said that though the West African threat is ebbing, there is still a need for additional funding and training.

“I don’t think it’s an overreaction,” said Hartl. “It may come across that way, but I think, again, we’re still preparing for Ebola.”

Hartl said that the preparations are for Ebola and whatever else may be on the horizon, like avian influenza and Middle Eastern Respiratory Syndrome (MERS).

“The world is a smaller place now. Something can get from Korea or Thailand or other parts of the country to our front doorstep,” Hartl said. “These days you don’t know what you’re dealing with sometimes, and to be prepared for any situation is the best thing to do.”

Dirk Fillpot from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services told 24 Hour News 8 via email that “ensuring that the public healthcare system is ready to treat diseases, whether Ebola or the next infectious disease that emerges, is vital to our nation’s health security.”

Michigan currently has three tier one hospitals that can identify, isolate, test and treat Ebola patients. One of those is Spectrum Health Butterworth Hospital in downtown Grand Rapids.

Re: Ebola Kentucky Ebola Patient Arrives
CONAKRY, Guinea — When he heard about Ebola resurging in Guinea, cardiologist Fode Kaba hoped his country could dodge catastrophe this time.

The hemorrhagic fever killed more than 11,000 people across this West African nation and two neighbors from 2013 to 2016 in the deadliest outbreak on record. Health-care workers knew what to do when new cases arose this week: Trace contacts, isolate the potentially exposed and warn everyone to take special precautions.

But medical centers are already stretched thin as Guinea confronts the coronavirus pandemic on top of yellow fever and measles outbreaks. People are tired of locking down and losing work in an era of seemingly endless restrictions. And the flare-up emerged where the last epidemic started: a region near the borders with Liberia, Sierra Leone and Ivory Coast.



Health officials projected optimism on Feb. 14, when the West African nation declared a new epidemic. Sakoba Keita, head of the National Health Security Agency, estimated Guinea could contain the menace in six weeks.

Messages of support poured in from all over.



“The world cannot afford to turn the other way,” Jen Psaki, the White House press secretary, said in a statement. “We must do everything in our power to respond quickly, effectively, and with commensurate resources to stop these outbreaks before they become large-scale epidemics.”

West Africa has more Ebola-fighting experts than anywhere else on Earth, and Guinea is expected to receive 11,000 Ebola vaccines this weekend from the World Health Organization. Busy markets have shuttered. Weddings and funerals are on pause.



“We are not panicking,” said Amie Kaba, a physician in Conakry. “We learned lessons from the last outbreak.”


The death toll rose to six on Wednesday. Guinea has counted 10 suspected cases and at least 216 people who interacted with them, but experts say more contacts are likely to emerge.

The nightmare began again with a sick nurse in the town of Gouécké. She reported a fever, headache, abdominal pain and trouble keeping food down on Jan. 18.

A doctor diagnosed her with typhoid, according to a WHO report. Five days later, she got a second opinion and another diagnosis: malaria. She sought a traditional healer before dying Jan. 28.

The nurse was “buried unsafely,” the report found, and five of her family members, along with the traditional healer, caught Ebola. Five of that group died.

Authorities are still trying to record every person the nurse encountered on her 10-day quest for help. Someone who attended her burial, for instance, developed symptoms and took a bus to the hospital.

“There are certainly a lot more contacts,” said Amer Sattar, a general physician in Conakry who worked on the last Ebola response. “Those people are now impossible to find.”

One big obstacle, he said, is a lingering perception that reporting symptoms to the government means certain death. Some fear if they enter an isolation center, they will never come out. Quashing stigma was central to getting the last outbreak under control.

Doctors and nurses, meanwhile, shoulder crushing work schedules. By Thursday, Guinea had confirmed 15,088 coronavirus cases and 85 deaths. (Infections have flattened since record highs in May, but health officials urge vigilance.)

AD
“There is a systemic shortage of health-care workers,” Sattar said, “because of the lack of training centers and because the pay is horrendous.”

Leaders in Guinea vowed to mend those problems after the last Ebola outbreak. The government pledged to recruit 6,000 more health-care workers and boost salaries by 40 percent. Spending on health care climbed from 4 percent of the national budget to 8 percent.

Many of the recruits were sent from the capital to rural areas. Yet they struggled to stick around, according to a 2019 study in the peer-reviewed journal Human Resources for Health. The researchers found absenteeism rates of up to 41 percent at the small-town medical centers they toured.

“Participants reported that the staff, purposefully recruited from the capital, was parachuted in underserved areas for just a few months to benefit their civil servant salary,” the authors wrote.

AD
A health-care worker described the city recruits as “prepared for anything except staying in rural areas.”

One of those rural areas is the epicenter, Gouécké, which is 533 miles from Guinea’s capital.

Ivory Coast sits to the east, Liberia is just south and Sierra Leone borders on the west. All three have ramped up epidemiological surveillance at the frontier, aiming to avoid the kind of cross-border contamination that set off the explosion of infections in 2014. (The index case, a toddler thought to be infected by a bat, exhibited symptoms in December 2013.)

Men read newspaper headlines reporting on the Ebola outbreak in neighboring Guinea at a sidewalk newsstand in Monrovia, Liberia, on Feb. 16.

Teams from the United Nations and WHO are bolstering the response in the epicenter, while ringing the alarm about another Ebola outbreak in Congo. (The Central African nation has confirmed four cases and two deaths.)

The pandemic has already “pushed health workers and health facilities to the edge,” said Matshidiso Moeti, WHO’s regional director for Africa.

AD
More than 28,000 people contracted Ebola before the West Africa’s epidemic ended.

One was Fode Abass Camara, 51, who lives near the town where the nurse died. The virus killed 13 of his family members.

“The news that Ebola is back is scaring me at night,” said Camara, a fruit seller. “I haven’t been able to sleep for the past few days.”

Loss haunts him. He flips through the local news and sees politicians weaving through maskless crowds.

“Tell me how I can protect myself from Ebola and corona when our leaders aren’t wearing masks?” he said. “May God save Guinea.”

According to the Health Department, no travelers have shown any signs of Ebola, and most are expected to be at low-risk for contracting the virus.

LEXINGTON, Ky — If you’re traveling out of the country soon, you might notice some slight changes.

The Lexington-Fayette County Health department has announced partnerships with the Center for Disease Control and Prevention as well as the Kentucky Department of Public Health to monitor those returning from ebola-affected areas of Africa for 21 days.

Health officials say the precaution is being taken to help ensure the safety of not only travelers but also the surrounding community.

Re: Ebola Kentucky Ebola Patient Arrives
Per WHO, the timeline of patient. Read carefully. The patient visited 3 health facilities, the practitioners propably treated other patients that dame day.


This could lead to another clusterfuck.

Less than 50%

"The index case of the cluster was a nurse who had originally presented at a health centre in Gouécké on 18 January 2021 with headache, physical weakness, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, abdominal pain, and fever. She was diagnosed with typhoid. She sought a second consultation at a health facility in Nzérékoré on 23 January 2021 for fever, vomiting, liquid stools, and physical weakness, and she was diagnosed with malaria. On 24 January she consulted a traditional practitioner in Nzérékoré, and she died on 28 January 2021. She was buried unsafely on 1 February in Gouécké. The other six cases are the five family members and the traditional practitioner she visited.

Among the seven cases, five have died (4 probable and 1 confirmed). The other two confirmed cases are currently in isolation in dedicated health care facilities in Conakry and Gouécké, Nzérékoré region."

Ebola will combine with Covid-19 and then those who have received the vaccine will catch it and the three components will be what causes the zombie apocalypse.
