East Africa on Yellow Fever Alert

Several Eastern African countries are on high alert after there has been a rise in Yellow Fever. Since December of last year, the country of Angola has had 178 people die because they contracted Yellow Fever. As a result of this outbreak, a countrywide "Yellow Fever alert" has been issued to all hospitals, points of entry into countries and airports (among other places). Some countries, such as Uganda, have even taken such precautions as to not allow anyone into the country that isn't immunized or who can't show proof of a valid, current immunization certificate against the disease.

When it comes number figures, the World Health Organization says there are between "84,000 and 170,000" cases of Yellow Fever per year with about 60,000 of those cases being fatal. The African countries that are currently considered to be "high risk" are as follows: Angola, Benin, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cameroon, Central Africa Republic, Chad, Congo, Ivory Coast, DR Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Ethiopia, Gabon, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Kenya, Liberia, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Southern Sudan, Sudan, Togo and Uganda.

The workers were nice and professional. The wait was short. The only problem I had is because it is very far from where I live. I wish there was one that was closer.

(Translated by Google) This is the best clinic I've ever visited. I went for some work-related tests and they treated me with so much kindness and respect. They have a fantastic team. Google won't let me leave a second review. I went a second time and they treated me just as well as always, with great kindness and professionalism. They make everything easy for you at our clinic, and they have a fantastic staff. Ms. Fernanda was a true professional. Thank you to all the doctors for making things so easy for us. (Original) Esta es la mejor clínica que he visitado. Fui hacerme un exámenes para mi trabajo y me atendieron con mucho amor y respeto, tienen un equipo de trabajo fantástico, google no me deja hacer una segunda reseña. Fui por segunda vez y me atendieron igual que siempre aquí con muchas amabilidad y profesionalismo a nuestra clínica porque esto te lo hacen fácil además de eso no tienen un gran personal profesional . La señorita Fernanda fue una gran profesional en su atención. Gracias a TODOS LOS DOCTORES POR HACERNOS LAS COSAS FACILES
