A suspected Ebola case has been recorded at Kitwe Central Hospital on the Copperbelt.
The patient, a twenty five -year old female, has since been isolated at Garnerton clinic in Kitwe.
But the Copperbelt provincial medical office has ruled out possibilities of the case being Ebola.
Copperbelt Provincial medical officer Consity Mwale said the patient presented signs of Ebola such as coughing, sneezing and vomiting that commenced a month ago indicating that the case is unlikely to be Ebola.
In a statement availed to ZANIS in Kitwe today by the Copperbelt Provincial Medical Office, Dr Mwale also stated that investigations by the medical officers on the patient revealed that the patient also had a history of vomiting blood and passing blood stained stool.
He however stated that the patient did not complain of any fever and had not been in contact with an Ebola patient and had also not traveled to any Ebola affected regions recently.
However, Dr Mwale has said that the patient has since been transferred from Kitwe Central Hospital to the isolation centre at Garnerton clinic.
He described the condition of the patient as stable after being put on antibiotics and fluids treatment.
He also stated that the patient’s blood samples are yet to be tested for Ebola virus.
And Dr Mwale has assured members of the public of protection from Ebola outbreak through the measures that have been instituted by the Ministry of Health and Community Development, Mother and Child Health.
Ebola has broken out in some West African countries where it has killed over a thousand people while in the Democratic Republic of Congo-DRC new cases have also been recorded.
No confirmed Ebola case has so far been recorded in Zambia.
May God help us in all angles in Jesus’ name!

It’s just suspected it can’t be a real thing, not in Zambia so be at ease!
pipo dont get smoke and leave out fire be care?
pliz pipo take this virus to the whites, so they have a test of their own venom, these are just created and dumped in africa for reasons best known to themselves. In their eyes we’re equal but in their minds they’ll never accept we’re equal, selfish cretures.
I can agree with you Scotiez that Africa has become as the field of experimentation. Just ask yourself WHY this illness has existed in Africa only?
That’s all u hv in your brains!like srsly??WTF

Where does this Ebola come from? The known source of ebola is the bats and the monkys, but other people say it is a lab made virus by whites who wish to get rid of the black race. Could this be true? If yes, are they going to be allowed to take us just like that? God help us coz In your name all is possible.
