We, the Egyptians are very wise not to believe the government easily especially when it is concerned with Health and the health ministry. Due to many factors I hint to before; there is no mutual confidence between the government and the people and of course both are paying the price mainly the government because there is no confidence for its constant lying that doesn't stop in the politics only but extends to other important issues that affect the lives of the people who lost interest in the politics like food and health especially health.
The golden rule in Egypt says if the ministry of health issues a statement ,don't believe it even it is true ,don't ask why ,but always predict the worst
Anyone who doesn't live in Egypt would say that it is too much but believe the 7000 B.C civilization people , we have all the right not to trust the health ministry
I mean from two days ago I found in the newspaper the health minister saying the Bird flu is under control now in Egypt and it would take just couple of weeks and Egypt will be free from the Bird flu
Yet yesterday and today I found out why Egypt is considered the biggest spot of the virus outside Asia , as the Health ministry announced the 32 human infection of the Bird flu in Egypt , wow it is really under control !!
You know I feel so sad for the health ministry I mean they were having enough trouble with the Bird flu and WHO watching and exposing them from a side and corruption scandals that threatened the health care in Egypt with Blood shortage in the famous infected and polluted blood packages of Hany Sorror of the NDP were exposed and till now they are the headlines of the newspapers but now they got a new challenge , a silly but still causes too much noise and panic
The German measles which they underestimated from few days considered it individual conditions then they confessed that there are hundreds of students across the country were infected by the measles and the panic reached to the people that made them not to send their children to schools, well it seems that despite the real nature of the German Measles it turned out to an epidemic , an old one as today the ministry of health announced there was - and don't be shocked-2943 German measles infected cases are and were in Egypt across the country for the last three months !!!
I swear the German measles disease is not dangerous but the numbers are scary why it spread like this , of course this due to the absence of the injection.I will be a naive girl and say the ministry is doing an investigation now to see why suddenly the disease appeared and spread like this across the country's school to south to north but may be they are busy with a new challenge even more dangerous that it is not announced in public official newspapers but in the independent anti-governmental newspapers as people don't need to panic that the Tuberculosis appeared again in Egypt
In Daily "El-Masry Youm" yesterday we found out the deadly disease which Egypt is fighting already whether poor countries began to spread again in Egypt more widely In the Grand Cairo area that is Giza ,Cairo and Kaluobia and other 7 Governates which are El-Bahaira,El-Fayoum,Kafr El-Shekih,Bani Sawif,Asuit, Sohag and Kanah !! The source is in the ministry of health that refused to reveal his or her name of course we understand why. The disease is said to be spread in the poor area in the Governates mentioned above and of course the primary reason behind the spread is the late discovery of the disease not to mention the poverty and the lack of knowledge
Now this is a real dangerous challenge because already on the same day El-Masry called the head of the local office of the WHO in the middle east Dr. Hussein El-Gazari who told them already Egypt is one of the countries with the high infection rate of the TB in the middle East along with Sudan ,Somalia and Yemen ,of course the common factor between those countries other than the location and the end of this geography talk is that they are suffering from high rates of poverty and ignorance , already it turned out that the WHO has a very interesting slogan that is "TB spreads in the country it appeared in" very cheerful one !!
Of course the ministry had to comment on this , today edition of the famous newspaper the head of the anti-TB center in Egypt saying that it didn't turn to an epidemic yet !! I don't know why I don't want to believe him easily
What do you think ??
I think that we need the mercy of God and his protection now more than anytime because we can't count on this ministry!!
I recall an incident (i am a medical staff outside egypt), about how we deal with medical emergencies in Egypt.
ReplyDeleteIt is well known that even the world best medical systems, it is a challenge to achieve more than 95% coverage of vaccination anywhere, in developing countries (like Egypt) we are way from target!
even the world best vaccines produced (Aventis-Pasteur, Beechum, Wyeth)never achieve 100% success rate (98% for best cases, this is why we vaccine the 2-3 booster doses for the same disease though one is theoritically enough).
even though, the egyptian representatives in health organization insist on the illusion that they are 100% successful in every thing (We produce our vaccines, god knows how it is made)
they are making mockery of themselves & our Country
I call it, [The Mondial Zero Mentality]

ReplyDeleteI think the egyptian people should have Government accounting watch dog. Not to watch the Government itself but rather institution such as the health and educational ministry. I think almost all people will agree to that there is a need for over sight on those institutions.
ReplyDeleteHowever at same time, I also agree with the health ministys optimistic speech about the overall health of the country. In a developing country like egypt, the last thing it needs is the ministry of health saying to its citizens that there are epidemics rampant in the country. Such speech would scare the people and verify that darkest fears. At the same time, I hope the health ministry is putting out Ads on how to get vaccinated and stay health from diseases and germs.

@amre,I am sorry I have to erase your comment because I won't accept any insult to my guests
@god bless america, the problem is that we are paying for their laziness , yes sometimes it is benefit to be quiet other wise there will be panic and fear but they are gambling with people's life because they don't announce about vaccines except when there is a complete diseaster going on!!
