Infectious diseases, prevent and control
Since February 2014, the Ebola epidemics has spread like wild fire throughout West Africa. Even if it appeared in 1976 on this continent, 2014 is the most lethal year for Ebola.
EBOLA, THE DEADLIEST YEARS
Since February 2014, the Ebola epidemics has spread like wildfire all across West Africa. The following graphics, provided by the BBC illustrates Ebola's killing spree:
CONCRETE CASES: EBOLA, A RAPID SPREAD
According to figures issued by the WHO in September 2014, 4 026 cases have been observed with 2 137 deaths. The situation reached such a point that the WHO had to ordain a “global health emergency” on August, 8th.
While the disease used to be restricted to the most remote areas, the virus is now speading in cities and metropoles…This phenomenon can be explained by the fact that populations are more mobile geographically. Another distinctive feature is that the virus moved to the west (Liberia, Sierra Leone, Guinea, ect…) while it used to strike in Central Africa. The situation really worries neighboring countries because at this time, there is no approved vaccine to cure patients. Seeing how the disease gains ground, it’s only logical to think that other countries will be hit.
HYPERTHERMIC PREVENTION KIT
In order to control at a distance and protect operators from a possible contamination.- Thermal cameras
- Electronic thermometer
- Medical gloves
- And more...
PREVENTION AND CONTROL MEANS
With this dire situation of rapid spread, PC EQUIPMENT was contacted by a West African country. We were asked to supply this country's main airport with detection equipment so carriers of this disease could be identified. Discover our equipment
With Ebola, the time frame between the incubation and contagion period is quite close. That's why it's important to use high performance equipment. Moreover, the fact that it contaminates massively means that remote solutions should be favored.
One sign of Ebola is the presence of a fever superior to 38.5°C so we've included remote thermometers and thermal cameras to this offer. This way operators can identify disease carriers and secure the area without endangering their own health.
We can decline and modify our offers according to the type of pandemics and what is needed on site.
