I-NICD isixwayise ngokuqubuka kwe-Rubella eNingizimu Afrika
INational Institute for Communicable Diseases (NICD) isiqinisekise ukubheduka kwe-Rubella eNingizimu Afrika, okuthinta kakhulu izingane ezineminyaka engaphansi kweshumi nabesifazane abakhulelwe. Izimpawu zokutheleleka ngegciwane zihlanganisa imfiva, ukuqubuka, amafinyila amaningi, amehlo abomvu, nokukhwehlela.
I-NICD igqamise ubungozi obukhona kwabesifazane abakhulelwe, ikakhulukazi labo abasesigabeni sokuqala sokukhulelwa, njengoba ukutheleleka nge-Rubella kungase kuholele ku-Congenital Rubella Syndrome (CRS). Lesi simo singabangela ukuphazamiseka okukhulu ezinganeni ezingakazalwa, okuhlanganisa ukukhubazeka kwenhliziyo, ukungaboni, nokungezwa.
Okhulumela i-NICD uDkt uKerrigan McCarthy weluleke abesifazane abakhulelwe ukuthi bafune usizo lodokotela uma beke bathintana nomuntu onaleli gciwane.
“Uma umama kutholakala ukuthi une-Rubella ngesikhathi ekhulelwe, kufanele adluliselwe ophikweni olukhethekile lokubelethisa lapho eyokwaziswa ngempilo yengane yakhe encane. I-NICD ilindele ukuthi ukubheduka kweRubella kuzophela ekupheleni konyaka noma ekuqaleni kukaMasingana,” kusho uMcCarthy.
Ukunqanda ukubheduka kwalesi sifo, uMnyango Wezempilo wethule umuthi wokugomela i-Rubella ezinganeni ezineminyaka eyisithupha nezinyanga eziyisishiyagalolunye, kuqinisekisa uMcCarthy.
