Chad manages to eliminate the 'killer' sleeping sickness

The World Health Organization has announced that Chad has eliminated the ‘Jambi figure’ of Africa -human stem disease, also known as ‘sleeping illness’, which is the first neglected tropical disease eliminated in the country. Sleeping disease causes the first parasites belonging to the sex of the bubbles (a type of parasite), and is transmitted by the “TSI” fly that carries the disease infection in 36 countries in Africa, and the disease is fatigue if left untreated. According to the United Nations Organization, sleeping disease threatens the health of millions of people in Africa, where many population groups are affected in remote areas suffering from limited health services, which impede the allocation of supervision activities, and prevent the diagnosis and treatment of cases, and in addition population displacement and outbreak of wars are the most important factors behind the transfer of the disease. Chad has been neglected, and Chad is the first country to be acknowledged that it is one of the neglected tropical diseases in 2024, to the no. 51 -country that has reached this goal worldwide. The first step to the center is the global threshold specified to eliminate this disease by 2030, which includes 100 countries. The Secretary -General of the World Health Organization congratulated Tedros Adhanum Jibrisus on the elimination of ‘sleep disease’. “We congratulate the government and people of Chad on eliminating the human human buppies, known as sleeping disease,” Jibrisus said on the “X” platform. He added: “It’s great to see that Chad joins the growing group of countries that have eliminated at least one tropical disease that has been neglected … The purpose of 100 countries is closer and within reach.” Symptoms of sleep disease and sleeping disease can initially cause symptoms similar to flu symptoms, but it eventually causes behavior, confusion, sleep cycle disorders or even coma, which often lead to death. Improving access to early diagnosis and treatment, as well as monitoring and response, has shown that countries can control the transfer and eventually eliminate the disease. According to the World Health Organization, the human human district disease takes two forms associated with the sub -family of the parasite that causes the disease. The Prussian bouquets of Jambi are found in 24 countries in West Africa and the center, and this form accounts for 97% of cases of informed sleeping disease as it causes a chronic infection. The person can develop infection for months or even years without signs or great symptoms that show him, and if the symptoms appear more clearly, the patient is often at an advanced stage where the central nervous system is injured. While the Prussian Prussian bubble is located in 13 countries in Eastern and South Africa, it is currently less than 3% of cases reported as it causes acute infection, and the signs of the disease and its first symptoms are observed after a few weeks or months, and the disease develops quickly to affect the central nervous system. Uganda is the only country in which the form of illness is shown: bursting prussian and prussian webia, but in separate areas. Shagas disease and there is another form of bubble diseases found mainly in Latin America, and is known as American bubbly disease or ‘shagas’. The organism that causes it belongs to another generation of the bubbles is transmitted by another carrier, and the characteristics of the disease differ from the disease of the human bubbles. So far, the success of 7 countries has been verified by the World Health Organization to eliminate the Jambi form of the human human tuju, which Togo (2020), Benin (2021), Cote d’Ivoire (2021), Uganda (2022), Equatorial Guinea (2022), Ghana (2023) and Chad (2024). The form of Rodissini’s disease was also eliminated in one country as a overall health problem: Rwanda, and its health was also verified by the World Health Organization in 2022. 20 countries were eliminated in the African World Health Area of ​​at least one disease of neglected tropical diseases, as Togo got rid of four diseases, while Benin and Ghana got rid of three diseases.
