The disaster

This Emergency Appeal seeks CHF 1,292,372 in cash, kind or services to support the Red Cross Society of
Guinea to assist over 3 million persons in At-risk communities in Guéckédou, Macenta and Kissidougou
prefectures for 6 months.
Guinea recorded early this year 134 suspected cases of febrile illness and 84 deaths (including 34 community
deaths) in some districts of the Forest Guinea, with a fatality rate of 63 per cent.
Faced with this situation, the health authorities of the N'Zérékoré Administrative Region, together with the
Institute of Public Health, Infectious Diseases University Hospital, WHO and MSF worked together to confirm
the nature of this unusual pathology. On 17 March, 2014, a total of 36 samples were taken, of which 12 were
sent to the Laboratory of Lyon (France) for confirmation. The results of these samples were received in
Conakry on 21 March, and revealed 6 positive samples, including 3 positive for filo Ebola virus disease (EVD).
Of the 3 cases positive for EVD, 1 case moved to Liberia and all are from the health district Macenta. As a
result, the Ministry of Health, in collaboration with its partners, has taken the following steps:
● Provision of free treatment for all patients in the isolation centers.
● Informing populations on individual and collective hygiene.
● Exclusive responsibility for the treatment of the bodies of deceased patients to health
personnel and the Red Cross Society of Guinea (RCG) to limit contamination.
● Census of all persons who have had direct contact with the patients who died and those
with the signs mentioned above.
● Dissemination of awareness messages in the media (radio, TV, internet).

The response

Since the initial confirmation of cases, the government has responded with the following:
 The establishment of patient isolation centers of in the affected prefectures.
 Disinfecting the homes of patients with suspected cases and deaths.
 Development of a response plan.
 Mobilization of resources.
 Delivery of personal protective equipment (PPE) kits and support in the affected areas (first stock of
MPI was made available on 22 March, as conveyed by the Minister of Health.
 Strengthening of epidemiological surveillance.
 Arrival of a team from the Institut Pasteur in Dakar to strengthen the capacity of the Laboratory of
hemorrhagic fever Donka.
 Expected arrival of a team from the Institut Pasteur de Lyon (mobile laboratory) to support the rapid
confirmation of suspected cases in the country.
IFRC does not have representation in the country, and supports RCG through its Sahel regional
representation office based in Dakar. At the time of reporting, an RDRT member, mobilized by IFRC, is
present in-country to support the ongoing DREF operation in response to the measles outbreak in late
January, and is providing additional technical support to the National Society. A small, specialized FACT
deployment has been done with the support of this DREF and includes a team leader and two health
specialists (epidemiologist and a psychosocial support specialist). An additional FACT member for reporting
has been alerted, and a health specialist FACT member has been deployed to Liberia. A four-member
Regional Disaster Response Team (RDRT) has been mobilized to provide logistics, beneficiary
communication and operational implementation support to the RCG. An IFRC Emergency Response Unit
(ERU) has been deployed for logistical support to the operation and a Basic Health Unit ERU including
medical personnel is being mobilized.
ICRC are present in-country and the delegation is kept informed of the evolving situation as well as IFRC’s
planned response to date, to ensure close coordination and support to the National Society. ICRC has
provided initial support to the RCG in terms of initial training of 100 volunteers and some equipment.

Coordination and partnerships

To date, the RCG participates in meetings with the Management Committee in response to epidemics with all
other actors’ present in-country every Wednesday at the WHO office. The epidemiological situation is
monitored closely and shared with partners including IFRC and ICRC.

To date, the Red Cross Society of Guinea (RCG) participates in meetings with the Management Committee in
response to epidemics with all other actors’ present in-country every Wednesday at the WHO office. The
epidemiological situation is monitored closely and shared with partners including IFRC and ICRC.
The RCG also meets with local committees in Conakry to plan and carry out prevention activities and
strategies needed to mobilize the population in the fight against the outbreak. The National Society also is
working in close contact with prefectural committees in Macenta, Guékédou and Kissidougou and has begun
to mobilize its volunteers.

The operational strategy
Needs assessment and beneficiary selection:
Given the nature of the outbreak, assessments are continual based on secondary data and gap analysis while
the evolving epidemiological indicators are assessed that will allow for developing scenarios and the most
appropriate response to control the outbreak. Regular task force meetings of all partners allow for regular gap
analysis based on the location and current case load.
The Ministry has mounted a large response to the outbreak but is hampered by a weak health system, limited
disease surveillance capabilities and increasing absenteeism of health staff in key locations. Several areas of
urgent assistance have been identified. These include;
 Information, education and communication to the population

protection, prevention and treatment availability
 Contribution to epidemiological investigation and epidemic control
 Case finding, contact tracing, disinfection, dead body management
 Clinical case management; isolation and life support, supervision of local nursing staff.
 Psychosocial support; coping with crisis, grief, loss.
 Community mitigation and reduction of stigma.
 National Society strengthening; volunteer training, logistics support, material support
Risk Assessment
Due to the highly contagious nature of the disease, IFRC, in support of RCG, is doing its utmost to protect the
volunteers while carrying out planned activities to mitigate the spread of the disease. An epidemic with a high
case/fatality ratio induces fear in the population and among the health care workers (HCW), leading to
absenteeism. Four confirmed cases in health care workers have been identified at a hospital in Pithé,
Conakry, and a suspected HCW case at another hospital in Conakry is under investigation. This has the
potential of further exacerbating absenteeism in desperately needed case management.
The country has recently had a measles outbreak, has currently a cholera outbreak in the north with a preemptive Oral Cholera Vaccine campaign being launched with WHO/MOH, plus the meningitis season is not
over yet and will last until the rains in May / June. This means that as the National Society is engaged in all
these epidemic responses, their capacity may quickly reach its limits; a meningitis and/or cholera outbreak
are also potential threats to the population and an additional burden to the health sector already decimated by
absenteeism;
A key challenge is the approaching seasonal rains anticipated to start in 6-8 weeks, and are likely to make
road transport difficult with affected areas becoming more inaccessible.
In addition, the risk of wide scale fear and panic, in Guinea and neighboring countries poses a significant risk.
Despite WHO not recommending any trade or travel restrictions Senegal has already tightened border control
with several other countries taking precautions such as infra-red scanning at airports. The high rates of fear
stigma and general panic that the disease creates not only in the affected populations but also in surrounding
areas requires urgent attention. Beneficiary communication is a major component in the inter agency
response plan, and needs considerable focus in the Red Cross response as a trusted source of information
and a key player in managing the possible impact of panic in the communities.
Following confirmation of 3 EVD cases in Liberia and suspected cases in Sierra Leone, the risk of a regional
epidemic is imminent. As initial regional preparedness, the IFRC is supporting National Societies in
neighbouring countries (Liberia and Sierra Leone) with the mobilization of PPE, activation of Red Cross
volunteer insurance, information and guidance.

Page |6
An IFRC operations manager is being mobilized through this emergency appeal to resume project manager
responsibilities of the response operation and ensure that necessary support is provided to the RCG for a
successful implementation of the operation.
A four-member Regional Disaster Response Team has been mobilized through the Togolese Red Cross
society, The Congolese Red Cross Society, The Red Cross of the Democratic Republic of Congo, The
Burkina Faso Red Cross and the Red Cross of Burundi to provide logistics, training, beneficiary
communication and operations implementation support to the GRCS at national headquarters and branches.
A 2-member logistics emergency response unit team has been deployed by the Swiss Red Cross to support
the GRCS with fleet management, trucking, warehousing and goods management support for the operation.
A basic health unit Emergency Response Unit is being mobilized to support the RCG and the ministry of
health with clinical case management through establishment of an isolation ward clinic. The unit includes both
equipment and the necessary personnel.

Logistics and supply chain: Guinea Red Cross will utilise two vehicles from its fleet for this
operation and additional four 4x4 vehicles will be mobilized through the IFRC vehicle rental program
for the entire operational timeframe. Additional transport needs will be met through hire of local
vehicles. The logistics support will be provided by the headquarters. While the chlorine, sprayers
and training equipment will be procured locally, the specialized PPE kits will be procured by IFRC to
ensure they meet the necessary standards. The logistics ERU team will be supporting the RCG in
meeting the increased demand for logistics services during the operation. Once the heavy logistical
tasks have been completed, the ERU team will ensure a smooth transition to the RCG logistician
who was recently trained in IFRC logistics systems and procedures.
Information technologies (IT): Guinea Red Cross has radio network coverage in all affected
districts which will allow for uninterrupted communication access if telephone lines are not
functioning. IT equipment necessary for the operation will be procured for the IFRC and RCG team.
Communications: the Red Cross Society of Guinea, with support from IFRC regional and zone
communications, aims to coordinate various awareness and publicity activities, to sensitize the
public, media and donors on the situation on the ground and the humanitarian response. Activities
to date include: identifying and updating qualified IFRC and NS spokespeople and sharing with
media; producing facts and figures, key messages, questions and answers, press release and two
web stories; conducting several media interviews with print, television, radio and on-line
organizations.
