[00:22:15]They say Ebola virus disease the government the preparedness and how they want for guide people them you know for make sure things in place sitation an active Ebola um bundo I hope I get well bundu um strain um outbreak has been declared in Italy province DRC 246 suspected cases and 65 death you know of as of um 17th May 2026 Six.

[00:22:45]Uganda has confirmed one um imported death. No local transmission. Regional um spread risk is um elevated. Son's um risk is currently low. But given our 2014 2016 experience, we are acting now what government is doing. Um the PH EOC activate activated an heighten readiness alert level two national emergency health committee convene enhanced screening at Lunga airport free [ __ ] and Cambia Balamua and Kylon um land borders PPE isolation materials and rapid diagnostic pre um positioned to western area and border districts. Rapid response teams on um standby in all 16 districts. IPC protocols um reinforced at key facilities. Active um coordination with Africa CDC, Echoas, WHO and DRC, Uganda, Guinea, Liberia um counterparts.

[00:24:02]What you must do? Call 117 immediately if you or anyone you know develops sudden fever, severe headache, vomiting, diarrhea, rash or unexplained um bleeding especially after travel from DRC or Uganda. Avoid unnecessary travel to affected areas in DRC and Uganda. Do not handle blood or um bodily fluid of any person with unexplained uh emoragic illness. Wash hands regularly with soap and water or alcohol based sanitizer.

[00:24:45]Follow update only from official government channels NPH A M O S LBC.

[00:24:55]All right. So um we will come and can talk to this because maybe we actually said that they appeal to the health workers then uh maintain a a high index of suspicion of emoragic fever in any patient with um with travel history from DRC or Uganda. Reporting a suspected case immediately to um to your DHMT or call 117. Safely observe standard IPC um precautions at all times. Do not attempt to manage or to manage a suspected case in an unprepared facility. Activate isolation and call for rapid response team support. The government of Australian is prepared. We ask every citizen to be equally alert, calm and cooperative. Together we will keep Siron safe. Sign Brigadier General Professor for the SA executive director, National Public Health Agency. Okay, family member them. We they go straight and um introduce we get them we we get inside their program this morning. Um, of course we start with the person we the face the mouthpiece in charge of messaging now the ministry of health and sanitation um the ministry of health so a name Smith good morning good morning good good morning >> thank you for joining me inside the Yeah. Okay.

[00:26:45]>> Yes. Thank you. And we next post we get Muhammad Aamar. Muhammad you did it. Put your camera on please.

[00:26:55]All right. Muhammad go join with J but we go straight to the communication post the pos talk on behalf of the ministry of health when I thos as you don't already see him. How old you know Ebola the word self Ebola they c panic now people they stigma they come with this kind of fear you know a lot of people in mind you know I call the word make so prepare really don't with regards this alert >> well um for preparation um we very prepared um news attest to the fact the last time who get Ebola this country will not be ever warn people they may even be um far ahead you know before it come the country but this time um the ministry of health the national public health agency and all we partners them you know um the ministry of health and partners [clears throat] you know the um the capacity we been get like 10 years ago 15 years ago quite different from waiting and get now and even quite different from waiting and get 2 years ago. So um now that make we always be very very prepared because in today's world we get a lot of um you know um diseases, conditions and um you know um other um conditions of public health importance and events. Um we always be giving them and the last time where we been um declare um over we been tell people and see not to matter of um um if we go get another um occurrence the country it's not just win because um you see the other day um even we talk about MS um outbreak the country we talk of ant virus way other countries. So we always warn people for make them be very very v vigilant so that you know this kola can spread the quiet fire. Always they say um disease and is spread at the speed of a jet liner. Meaning um like how plane the speedway plane they they go eat at the same speed sickness and spread because somebody taking breakfast the next um 2 hours he take him lunch another country the next four five hours he taking dinner and he taking supper other country. So and the same way disease and spread. So the only way we not for panic like we see you scared the only thing we for be very vigilant and um face the reality see and the only way out of prevention and prevention and prevention. I I agree with you you know in as much as you say I not day inside salon you know but the trauma I feel the the thing right now inside me you know because I remember working with BBC media action we been they go like every now for see people talk to people them you know talk to health workers them we see loss health man them you know like Dr. Can we in name it go always the surface anything we talk about then things there. And I agree with you say on that particular time where the Ebola member BBC media action we get a program with the ministry of health right inside the CMO in office and the one question ask what we do for make sure say the Ebola reach and the response be where we reach the bridge we go cross the bridge we completely different from right now wait for cross the bridge but rather they put things at the bridge for make sure say no book if go on top they bridge them.

[00:30:59]So um um establish different different district centers them stand by properly for make sure and not pray for that but overwhelming cases they make control things.

[00:31:15]Yes. Um as I say um and all the salon according to the world organization the threat um to salon very low but not withstanding we need for informed people because you know um the last time we been get salon and even the um get down and we don't spill over Uganda with the one get you know In the Zylon, but this another stain we not even guarantee person get the last one he get this one not affect because different skin all together and even the the vaccines all you know they all get different different skin in specific. So it means you see the death to um you know DRC is very very high. It not mean to say they not um belong with them but um you know this are the reality. So we for just make sure see we um be very prepared and we vigilant and I want talk to them you know when um even the antivirus and even this one you know when we prepare them press releases or public notice and even the advices you know I be just a smile I say when people and we see this and we say yes um done um you know emp you know I think for that that's be the reaction and indeed as you go out we g perceptions of people in fact I've been around television station the other day then do spoke the same same things people they they talk you know so we went for people aware say not being sickness saloon we says not for sickness but we duty but make sure say we tell people waiting and we tell people and waiting for do but if we get that idea they say now so people talk and all that come and people so they not been take very serious at that time and some people even been get Some it been very very serious for them.

[00:33:55]Now later on then same people they talk say oh now we don't believe but we don't want that for people be affected or family members they affected or see person die before they don't believe you know we on duty that's really for for talk to people for do all necessary things because when outbreak they come or we other side even we not come we're very very vigilant you know we're not able for relax we're not able for do any things the strain and even the um you know the efforts that we put is so overwhelming and we when we can get out over we can feel lived you know but then you know in all the um sweet anybody but we do for protect people and people get you know the um awareness make with the dam although as I say the threat is not a low for now for um even um the Ebola and even antivirus. But we see say we don't we are very few one of the very few countries and we come out with um awareness raising drive there because um even when we been get the country where there's you know pandmic you know um we been they put things in place based on the um you know experience been get for Ebola and so even When a pandmic say just for saloon at that time landing a pandmic affect all of regions across the world but we you see how we able for delay the first kiss. So it knock one of the last countries that we been get because we been do all we able for we prevent. So when this we decide for do by the time you know this thing then put under control we open but we need the corporations of um everybody make them understand say we not manufacture disease system we own mandates and for make sure say we protect the lives of people we prevent illnesses we alleviate suffering and we promote health and that exactly we Why is it that people always not get trust most times when it comes to the ministry of health? you know 2014 15 16 we see how they not trust the government you know the messaging people they do waiting on for do and we see the outcome you know the Ebola the the covid come as well they not trust you know most people not trust and we see you know box again and now we don't come back to this although in salon waiting on do now you know for make sure say people see reason for to trust and keep themselves safe more than any other time.

[00:37:01]>> Well, um this not so um you know not limited to I can tell you last year um you know um Rwanda Rwanda let me get um you know a similar disease we um virus disease like very close cousin to um Ebola. So when get the same same same problem in the Nwanda. So people begin die. So what do they come back to salon and you know the risk communication outfit where they um head and make sure say we able for do advice to them. Tell them how do the messaging and how them do you know um everything for make sure say um you know people you know get the message. So um although me not being good but um we always um you know send you know then we adise them they we send out for do the messaging and later on and get for call we own medical team a lot of medical doctors them nurses hygienist them goody and good within a very short time they able for done with the outbreak they all come safe and sound this say we don't get a lot of experience in this and we also So this is show also this thing really happen not to new phenomenism but um we saloon um we need for learn a lot of lessons because of wait and if they even rely on we um just last year we also been get impact outbreak and um you know Namibia Yeah. Um one of the colleague you know um we actually send good because we get a lot of things that we may not for good within record time for work with them then don't get done with the import in fact that at that time also they get pure veloc get very good results. So um we as we say the capacity we we don't able for develop over time um you know um a lot of countries even the um want for make you know we get um make we work with them. So um D for make sure D for even give people assurance um these are two way street um we get expert knowledge that the one disease then the area and everything don't we get lay perspective the community people me and you we all even when we some of experts but we community people back so we need forget a fine balance between late perspective and expert knowledge Then two they work together. If we talk we give all the messages we do everything. If the people themselves not cooperate you know different thing and most of the way they happen it is um motivated by a lot of other factors we are not able for um talk about but now but we they continue for work on the hearts and minds of people so that able for understand they appeal let them not for even wait something happen some you know look during Emp testimonies as I say say yes not believe but when it happen so they appeal to everybody say this thing real enough for we always take everything they talk because we responsible and science based organization we deal with the science we can talk well it get you know say any way Not big until we can do lockdowns until we relax. So that people for based on the science how they think they going. So we they deal with people and we not intend for put people under strain or pressure. But the science they dictate to we always can even predict remember the last time we can say well if we don't do so this thing will go up or with time it will come. I remember um during um um this emp but a lot of people concerned but when we do when people cooperate with me we get home isolation where people not advoc May May 10 you Um it was last year and we get m the last time after which we begin to double digit. I remember the other time I one of the television stations I talk with confidence yesterday now we get double digit 90 the person they say achievement I say yes achievement they get three digits we get two achievement and I mean talk with confidence within the next week and in the coming weeks we will begin get one digit and single digit and we will get occasional zeros So then for no say we are a science based organization based on a lot of issues now we adise now we tell people everything for do okay >> all they need for do then for just take what we tell the instructions are very simple and clear for inance if we say so for do make sure say if you see somebody with sign report call 117 or report to the nearest facility now these are simple simple instructions It's not too sophisticated instructions but um you know people deliberately knock one just that but the moment when they like this don't begin so early if they cooperate with me I sure everybody say we not you know get this alone or we make sure say we we we the situation they under control.

[00:43:38]>> Continue for the end. I will touch on some other sensitive areas them quick one again but h in the meantime just adjust yeah fine we do talk adjust the camera so we go to see your face okay so another thing we we want for look at you know you don't talk about the border crossing and other things them so look at the safety of the well body work them the health workers them for example you know waiting day in place for them when they put refresher training for them so um then able for you know guide themsel whenever they at the front line in case although we not reach point say it.

[00:44:16]Yeah. Well, what we do in fact no more can get nothing for we do call simulation exercise. We [clears throat] can do tabletop simulation.

[00:44:29]>> Um we do live simulation. I remember once we do live simulation where it's like the things don't happen where we even use ambulances we go out from all health facilities you know but now being like a live simulation we been do for just keep people on toes I remember that day back people I remember one of the press the press release they make and put them across you know what maxi guys they say team external simulation exercise and everything you know to people don't come at home but what we do we do all this for let people let them know let them know they forget not refresh in small what we do we do every now and and again all capacity core capacities like medical measures the one we deal with drugs and medical supply um you management. You want the way they treat risk communication. Um um they all also um um you know laboratory where they do live life live live um stimulation exercises way we actually they do >> so that um we understand a way of we refresher and cleaning you know way they do and we make sure say apart from the other we put we stockpile things in like um you know medical laboratory equipments, laboratory regions and all of them.

[00:46:12]I just want to ask you how many you know get enough PPS enough things them for keep the health workers then safe from this particular thing they risk everything and the code been for the last Ebola if I can remember one first mistake now your last mistake.

[00:46:32]Yes.

[00:46:34]For the first time, he not come in contact with second take you off.

[00:46:40]>> Yes, of course. You know sickness and not even forgive. For instance, say like this not be that just like if you put fire burn.

[00:46:56]So what we do? We put things all in place and medical get not for we can use them for other things. So we make sure say we stockpile all of them you know the knowledge you know we get um then laboratories in place and everything and even we not even rely just only and on laborism because we know say um anything we do we get quality control and like we we get we laborism institute pasture that is pasture institute we get the one south Africa, you know, we we we get other um you know um um laboratories where we do even quality control and in fact some of the disease in the salon with center of excellence for them particular things and you know force them with all due respect to the laboratory technician.

[00:48:01]Now we have laboratory scientist them some of them with M's level competence with doctorate and everything. So we now you top notch um areas now we not improve than we think even be before but um all of them as I say the community on part the cooperation is very much important but um this are always remind people and say the threat to salon is slow it's not that just neighbor you know far and everything according to assessment And according to scientific evidences they get but people not as we want make it come we don't make we don't do a lot of remember the last we get another of very close but we see we get threat we've been see because of the proactive nature we um you know we drive for do same.

[00:49:09]>> Okay. So, so let me look at one other thing. Um, you get me >> right. The battle with the internet. So come back to you and you know one of the other thing as they talk about the safety because at this point and mostly the ministry of health can always puts the workman them especially the frontline worker them the the lab technician them or as you say the the the scientist them you know and other people them at the top of the agenda whenever then they go into any kind battle any kind of this nature. So but um we do we don't they see like the Ebola like the COVID plenty time then they like the lab technicians some of the frontline workers them don't they cry about you know them benefits the way they can get and they risk their life them but the ministry of health can hold back on some of them benefits them how don't learn from them things past situation for make sure say if at all we not pray for that but if at all we go into that value the health worker them and waiting for get them get them on time where make their heart then cool whenever then they going to risk the environment.

[00:50:23]>> Yes. Um we the ministry um and partners then they consider that but I mean anything we do we says if we can make one or two um sacrifices and everything you know say um we will get everything you know um you know perfect even the best of um you know um um health administration around the world get because even in the US we What misbe at this day and age because of certain things really happen you know we like if the immunization like when they give back to some people antivac for instance we not even some medical people say we take vaccine you this so all make happen but when it happen again a lot some of them looose And the things that can happen but some of we you know we can make some sacrifice not to everything we do in all of just because of money otherwise we not for situation or positions you know one one team we can make sacrifices okay use system but not to everybody can understand you know but we expect you know will be 100% especially resources, administrative and everything, you know. Um we for say um some of them things and they go but it not widespread because if people and they complain not be everybody you know they complain but few people yes because of one or two things you know it can happen even with salary they pay some money you go your salary not come but you know if one or two administrative procedure then he will get him back. So anything can happen but that's not mean to say for years we don't work if you happen for one month you know you know rectify you know um boost 100% happen but that make prevention as I say the key prevent all of this not um take place but we for actually show understanding but you So different because the last time most of the people complain you know people been take for take but take for because we not get like an outfit which we don't get now we get national public health agency we get work force so you remember first time we been get we get um we get um you know this um Ebola outfit you know and But now we get the National Public Health Agency whatever for the National Agency all of the not gra any you know um um group or something for manager. So um the are paid up workers. So apart from maybe the incentive get risk allowances then get staff them whe also reduce on the thing because if me not about that some of the concern people get this and that can set you know all of them small small things in there for example inside the term we now minister when I be the deputy minister They say they get two salary.

[00:54:17]One from you know the um COVID response and other one from a ministry. All of that become question. Why you get two salary when they work at them actually they cry for their own salary or their own um benefits them they stipen them with support for they get all of them accountability measures then they don't put them in place for make sure I not get that kind big cause for alarm from the public.

[00:54:44]Yeah. Well, um as I say, we now get um um we get anno need for begin take extra not need for begin take extra stuff. So most of wait not happen you know but um as I say I'm not going into that that's not on me not administrator or not to finance person but when when can happen in order to see can get other people and can get salary but you know everybody is exposed to risk so risk allowances and then all over the world it happen you know but payments and such because is very if you sick or you die not mean anything to you or you but all sacrifice for like encourage people and for even you know compliment efforts and they do because nobody like the nurses they clean you know nobody not he decide for clean other people get more money get but honor sacrifice.

[00:56:05]>> All right. So touch lastly on this misle thing you know we don't declare if I can get the figures them we don't get 41 confirmed cases them and then dict them western area you know eat and official reports um 75 positive rate you know health team.

[00:56:29]>> Yeah. Yes. Percent exactly. So you know tell me about this wait what they happen with regards this now the same 41% as of um wait they happen >> well make this clear um the 41 um you know um system >> yeah 41% sorry about that >> yeah the 75% are positivity rate meaning they should say the system >> so they then get very high index of suspicion if then suspect 100 people or get me when they go test 75% of them positive. So which means the laboratory test very very sharp and because the clinician or the physician or whosoever the health worker suspect mis get any mechanism now two by you know clinical argument it take for suspect it can be say misus community we say fever and rash rash it can be of any kind sort fever malaria you get fever so but if you don't suspect class 10 people in out of them 10 people in the seven between seven and eight positive that mean to say that they mean to say if they want the way they suspect or they then they do presumptive diagnosis then very very sharp so they pick one that is good but like if say every 100 something one or two less than 1% not work so 75% but not mean to Okay. Now the number out of 10 like a seven if they seven 10 specimen seven to eight positive that mean to say then sharp not better. So um the 41 make you see misus different from Ebola different from chicken different from fever different from kongo fever different from a lot of other disease maral viral disease and all but misus the one case not to an outbreak we need like a five case within a court I say court within a clearly defined geographical area say if you take and see well this area. So now take side street you know that side one area. So if you get up to then five then you can say yes week. So just one warning we can say matter for this eminent. So that's over time from January now probably don't you understand death say probably don't because we okay so that's just a show say but we not hide anything we come back for make people know the situation you know say if like west the the highest number of cases inside 41 mean because now the threshold where they take not to just one you need like a five so you see [clears throat] so but when you begin like a one you get for do and you know don't put situation under control but they need for make people know because if any [clears throat] take a most of them They not go get some one although one or two sometime because of one or two reason some not able you know for at that particular time for make the vaccine work but that's that's not the reason why we get 9 months they take the measles at um um 15 months one year 3 months he get a second opportunity so if not be that first one he woke for the second one first call and booster but a second opportunity for So um that's again another thing if the be sick for inance manage vaccine not get like HIV or then kind sickness immune system not work at that particular point so or get TB or other so these are some of the reasons but most of the reason why people not for vaccin because the vaccine plenty so we E don't last week last month again not agree and every vaccine get specific illness it prevent you know not the treat. So this can be another reasons also and if the area where the vaccination rate highly the one they not get safe the one we get protect they make a call they call immunity out of them so if they are protected so we do but it happened as other countries even things because for example compon For example, comp school and you pick student school. You get for answer to question for that. So a lot of work get for be done around then things and for make sure say they pick them get the right vaccine then go well and able for you know um jump on five and move on with the life as as gone. But but for a wrap up of the program um Harold you know what you want for left with three [snorts] especially you know with the latest threat in Africa we even though in reach now we country but we understand about 65 dead you know in new Ebola outbreak so what you are left with family >> well um we want for make sure see people understand this see we um job We try for prevent not happen at all at all at all.

[01:03:13]And in any rare instance we happen we try for make sure see we we f quick because any disease if we can any country if you do if you not do nothing safe it go you understand but a lot of people them will die a lot of people will get sick and it will take long but if you begin quick you know you find out the death rate they reduce and the um way people see reduce so they prevent expensive aspect of it. A very in fact a cheap cheap talk we do this a cheap cost almost nothing you know um when you just send simple messages and then cheap even if we use money for do that but um when for treatment person a very very um you know um expensive you know um you know when they do look look at health economics you find out one treatment a a a far exp like a like a 20 or 30 um elderly people. So you don't you don't see the difference because they are delicate and everything. So and the time we spend and all. So waiting at the advice people make them for legend just listen to simple things you remember the last the worst out 2012 >> but because women put so much effort even preparedness before they come every year we get you don't see from 2012 to now we not ever get any again because we don't know say if you not do that um put things in Please don't we will get we will get some people and they die then they lost a life and a lot of problems and they happen so the preparedness very very much important the preparness very important that's me like I be one example every year we get people die but now from 2012 we never get as right now as I talk to right now but get preparedness meetings within old task force day and they put things in place. So the day we do let the community do the impact that simple hand washing that simple way tell you say for do this and for this let begin say this and that some say you give me food you know all kind better attitude he go at risk because as I always say all these years where I don't spend this war I find out say I've been there where begin the first case and all the way say one most of them again don't die because if you say you not in this signal they prevent you. So this just an example for you put yourself at put other people because person get other people don't put her. So you see now the problem this prevention to me now the cheapest way for improve on people health services now any country. So um but we need a cooperation because this now a whole of government approach when we say a whole of government approach you not mean ministry of health no more ministry of finance they give money ministry of social welfare we get a ministry of education and I of community approach even to the chief the the adand them then you everybody you know for make sure say them put attention if do that then we we You know most of them know it be the thing of the past. You know right now you know I discuss it but we deal with issues now for this mate in general how we will push and go before the you know in the coming years so that people will prevent for a lot of sickness in the a lot of other colleagues all over Africa they you know they are just stick with them for make able for this program you see I get a lot of calls because they look for me right now but what we do we plan together because this world when we interconnected because sometimes some morning I make somebody from me colleague from me this and this problem we get how we solve them we we can ad get the first messages they will do because some other countries where they don't send materials. We look and we we we we we actually adopt some of the so we work now we all we we know we all the work and we get a network you know that so we get that one work the community network so that for make sure say the people they for you know protect their lives because We need for save people alive.

[01:09:07]We need for save people and livelihoods as well. Because if sickness and canal what go the livelihood they go for go for penny penny if you sick not go you get begging you spend you you not able. So even like other things they talk they talk salon you know they go play football and people come even I meet a lot of team up you know then they don't put aside then say they not get vaccination they not allow them for enter you know me get me just go I pass you know all the beginning they call me say I said listen to me. However, I say okay I go talk to the the the health authority. In fact, I tell them it was 11:00 not they don't go home just because they talk to me they had to pay I think $50 for them that vaccin you see let them go free some people so frustrated you know I mean get so preer say for vac the actual vaccine before I get the vaccine you not get a card but not get card you not get vaccine so these are things do if then they save other people >> all right thank you very much um our from where you take it for joining us at the program this morning >> welcome All right.
