Although the Ministry of Health is yet to release official data pertaining to the number of malaria cases that were recorded last year, Director of Vector Control Services within the Ministry of Health, Dr. Reyaud Rahman, is adamant that the data thus far reveal a more than 60 per cent drop in cases last year. The previous year saw the Ministry recording some 30,000 cases.Following analysis and confirmation of the actual data by Chief Medical Officer,China Jerseys Wholesale, Dr. Shamdeo Persaud,Cheap Jerseys Wholesale, the cases that were recorded last year,Cheap Stitched Jerseys, will be publicised, Dr. Rahman noted.Dr. Reyaud Rahman“People will be able to see the actual numbers instead of just hearing me say we have made a significant impact. But I can safely say we have cut malaria by at least 60 per cent.” This he attributed to the great deal of work that has been employed by those within the Vector Control Unit coupled with the reduced mining activity when the gold price dipped last year.And in the quest to further reduce the numbers, Dr. Rahman, during an interview with this publication, said that tactical interventions have been streamlined. These, according to him, will include the setting up of facilities at strategic points throughout the country, particularly in interior locations where there are few to no health facilities.“These are locations where we know that people will have to pass through,” said Dr. Rahman as he explained that the planned facilities will have on site Vector Control workers who can take blood smears and test these samples to ascertain whether they have the disease.Aside from the interior locations, Dr. Rahman said that efforts will be made to set up such facilities at the Ogle Airport where miners and others travelling to interior locations are likely to access flights.“We will have our workers also at places like the Mabura intersection, where we know people have to pass through when they are going to Region Nine or when they have to go to Region Eight. So we will have the ability to capture all of those people coming through those areas,” the Vector Control Director explained.“When people stop at these points the health care worker will ask them a couple of questions and if they qualify, in terms of if they need a smear,Cheap NHL Jerseys, our officers can take it off at that point,” explained Dr. Rahman.He noted that while the process will kick off as an optional service, it is expected that it will eventually become mandatory whereby “persons will have to take a smear. This is all part of our efforts to ensure that an infected person does not expose others to the disease or you do not have to wait to travel to Georgetown to be treated for the disease. You can become sicker if you wait and make life even harder for yourself.”“It is best for us to capture this disease early and break transmission early,” Dr. Rahman asserted. He explained that while taking a sample and testing for the disease could take as little as 15 minutes, Vector Control Workers will however not insist that persons wait for their results.Moreover,Cheap China Jerseys Authentic, he noted that efforts will be made by the workers to obtain contact details and if persons tested are found to be positive they will be contacted so that they could be afforded treatment.“This is something that we think will work in the interest of reducing malaria further,NFL Jerseys China, and we think it will at the same time be a service that will be convenient to the public,” the Vector Control Director speculated. “People don’t have to worry about the whole ‘join a line and stand up for hours’ but rather we will be making the process simpler for them.”While the new measure will be undertaken by Vector Control workers within the system, Dr. Rahman noted that the sector is recruiting staffers who will help the process along. He however, added that there are other considerations being discussed to ensure efficacy of the newest tactic to decrease malaria cases.“We are confident that whatever the case is we will have people to man those facilities,” asserted Dr. Rahman, who insisted that “we are an evolving department because we have a proper training unit, so not only is our staff being replenished, but we are constantly being strengthened also.”It is expected that staffers will be rotated regularly at the new facilities.The Vector Control Unit has been putting a great deal of effort into the fight against Malaria, and according to Dr. Rahman, the disease demands a great deal of attention because it affects many individuals, can lead to death if untreated, and therefore demands a sizeable sum to e
