Conakry, the first major city to be affected by the Ebola outbreak in West Africa, is currently seeing a massive spike in cases. In July, case numbers appeared to decrease in Guinea, suggesting the end of the outbreak might be near.
But Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders (MSF) is now caring for more than 120 patients, of whom 85 are confirmed to have the virus, in its two case management facilities in the country, Conakry and Guéckédou.
The Donka Ebola management centre, situated inside the Ministry of Health hospital complex in Conakry, has been particularly badly affected. The facility admitted 22 patients in one day, on the 6th October, 18 of them coming from Coyah region which is 50 kilometres east of Conakry.
There are now 62 patients in the Donka centre, which has 60 beds and is currently being expanded with 14 more. This would appear to confirm fears of a massive hike in cases in the capital.
