Faafida ‘COVID-19’ waxay dhamaan kartaa bartamaha sanadka: WHO
Madaxa WHO Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus ayaa sheegay in wejiga ba’an ee masiibada uu dhammaan karo bartamaha sanadka haddii ku dhawaad 70 boqolkiiba adduunka la jaro.
Rajadayada ayaa ah in marxaladda ba’an ee masiibadani ay dhammaan doonto sanadkan, dabcan hal xaalad, tallaalka boqolkiiba 70 [bartilmaameedka waxaa la gaaray] bartamaha sanadkan agagaarka Juun, Luulyo,” Tedros Adhanom Ghebr
“Haddii la doonayo in taas la sameeyo, marxaladda ba’an runtii way dhammaan kartaa, waana taas waxa aan rajeyneyno. Gacanteena ayay ku jirtaa. Ma aha arrin fursad ah. Waa arrin doorasho.”
Wuxuu ka hadlayay booqasho uu ku tagay Afrigen Biologics and Vaccines, kaasoo soo saaray tallaalkii ugu horreeyay ee mRNA COVID ee lagu sameeyo Afrika iyadoo la adeegsanayo taxanaha Moderna, “Waxaan filaynaa in tallaalkan uu noqon doono mid ku habboon xaaladaha lagu isticmaali doono, oo ay ku yar yihiin caqabadaha kaydinta iyo qiimo jaban,” ayuu yiri madaxa WHO.
Tallaalku wuxuu diyaar u noqon doonaa tijaabooyin caafimaad bisha Noofambar, iyadoo oggolaansho la filayo 2024.
Afrigen ayaa hogaaminaya mashruuca tijaabada ah, oo ay taageerayaan WHO iyo hindisaha COVAX.
Tedros waxa uu sidoo kale ku booriyay wadamada Afrika in ay taageeraan dadaalada lagu dhisayo maamulaha dawooyinka Afrika.
Waxa uu sheegay in hay’adaha qaaradaha sida hay’adda dawooyinka Afrika ee la qorsheeyay ay muhiim tahay sababtoo ah waxay dhimi karaan kharashaadka iyo inay gacan ka geystaan la dagaalanka dawooyinka been abuurka ah ama tayadoodu liidato.
Afrika oo ka baxaysa marxaladda masiibada’
Faallooyinka Tedros ayaa yimid maalin kadib markii Matshidiso Moeti, oo ah agaasimaha Afrika ee WHO, uu sheegay in qaaraddu ay ka baxayso marxaladda masiibada ah ee dillaaca COVID-19. Iyadoo aragti rajo badan ka qabta, waxay sheegtay in Afrika ay u socoto xaalad ay ku maarayn doonto fayraska muddada fog.
Faafida ayaa u gudubta weji kale… Waxaan u maleyneynaa inaan hadda u dhaqaaqeyno, gaar ahaan tallaalka la filayo inuu kordho, waxaana u noqon kara nooc ka mid ah la noolaanshaha fayraska,” Moeti ayaa u sheegay shir jaraa’id Khamiistii.
“Marka laga soo tago fursadaha jira, oo ay ku jiraan sinnaan la’aanta weyn ee helitaanka tallaallada, waxaan uga gudubnay duufaanta COVID-19 adkeysi iyo go’aan,” ayay tiri.
Only 11 percent of Africans are vaccinated, the lowest rate in the world. Last week, the WHO’s Africa office said the continent must boost its vaccination rate “six times” to reach the 70 percent target.
According to the World Bank, the pandemic is estimated to have pushed up to 40 million people into extreme poverty in Africa, and every month of delay in lifting containment measures is estimated to cost Africa $13.8bn in lost gross domestic product, Moeti said.
Like Tedros, Moeti also noted that the continent needs to maintain political will and support for the local manufacturing of vaccines, therapeutic medicines and diagnostic tools.
Since the beginning of the pandemic, Africa has recorded more than 11 million coronavirus cases, and more than 243,000 deaths. More than 10 million have recovered so far, according to data published by the African Centres for Disease Control and Prevention.
