Campagne de Vaccination Contre la Rage : Protéger les Animaux et les Communautés Du 31 janvier au 1er mars 2025, une campagne de vaccination contre la rage sera menée dans les casernes militaires de la garnison de Ouagadougou. Cette initiative vise à protéger les animaux de compagnie des militaires ainsi que ceux des populations environnantes, en réponse à plusieurs cas récents de morsures de chiens dans certaines casernes. Lancée par Inès OUEDRAOGO, résidente du FETP Frontline Cohorte 16, et Aboubacar Nacro, diplômé du FETP intermédiaire, cette campagne bénéficie du soutien de la hiérarchie militaire. La lutte contre la rage commence par la vaccination des animaux. Agissons ensemble pour prévenir cette maladie mortelle !

Day 5 of Ebola Response: Strengthening Surveillance & Case Detection Saturday, 8th February—Makerere School of Public health teams expanded case detection efforts beyond main roads, responding to gaps identified in the previous day's surveillance update. Two teams were deployed to ensure smaller, remote health facilities were included. Challenges included missing phone numbers in patient registers, hindering follow-ups. Critical patient details were recorded in personal notebooks instead of facility files, raising continuity of care concerns. 📍 Another team conducted follow-ups on alert cases. A sub-group visited a quarantine center, confirming no new symptomatic cases. By day’s end, 5731 records were reviewed, identifying 939 suggestive cases & 8 alerts. Limited access to private health facilities remained a key challenge. 📍 The teams efforts reinforced epidemiological skills in outbreak response, sharpening problem-solving in real-time. Despite documentation and access challenges, our team remains committed to strengthening surveillance, ensuring early case detection, and supporting Uganda’s fight against Ebola. #EbolaResponse #PublicHealth
