FREETOWN/MONROVIA
.
Health workers have gone on strike at a major state-run Ebola treatment
center in Sierra Leone, hospital staff told Reuters on Saturday, a further
blow to efforts to contain the deadly virus.
.
Faced with the worst Ebola outbreak in history, West African governments
have struggled to find an effective response. More than 1,550 people have
died from the hemorrhagic fever since it was first detected in the forests
of Guinea in March.
.
Transmitted through the blood, sweat and vomit of the sick, Ebola has
spread quickly among health care workers who often lack the equipment to
protect themselves from the virus.
.
Ishmael Mehemoh, chief supervisor at the Kenema clinic in eastern Sierra
Leone, said the facility has only one stretcher. He said the stretcher,
which is broken, is used to carry both patients and corpses, raising the
risk of infection.
.
In a further sign of strained resources, nurses and members of the burial
team at Kenema said the government had stopped paying their wages of $50 a
week.
.
There is only one other Ebola treatment center in Sierra Leone in
Kailahun, and the World Health Organization shut the laboratory there this
week and withdrew staff after one of its health workers caught the virus
there.
.
So far more than 120 healthworkers have died from the virus across the
region. In Kenema alone, 26 staff members have already died from Ebola
following the death of physician Dr. Sahr Rogers.
