Conventional Intervention |
CIH Intervention |
|
Vision: Description |
Aggressive Supportive Medical Care is an intervention that is aimed at screening people for the possibility of Ebola and thus putting them on an early treatment plan. |
Infection Prevention and Control Practices an intervention in a healthcare facility that helps to prevent the spread of infections from persons with the infection to persons without the infection |
|
Vision: Purpose |
Detection and response to early infections of Ebola just before they physically show signs will help reduce acute responses. This way, the mortality rates will be reduced as the victims are put on immediate medical attention hence suppressing the effects. |
Reduce the rate at which future outbreaks of the Ebola virus can be transmitted between persons when they are exposed to infected victims. |
|
Vision: Rationale |
This intervention is safer in terms of the victims and the healthcare providers. Handling patients who are at acute effects of Ebola increases the chances of transmission to the health care providers. However, for victims detected early enough, early prevention makes them more likely to survive thus reducing the mortality rate. |
Since Ebola is spread even during contact, very many people including health workers are infected too. Through the use of this intervention, there will be a reduced rate of infections as the victims will be handled in isolation, and measures to protect the healthcare givers highly implemented. |
