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.

I recently visited this clinic for the services and shots required for my immigration case, and I must say, the experience was exceptional. From the moment I checked in to the time I left, everyone I interacted with was incredibly nice, courteous, and professional. The staff was well-informed and had all the necessary information readily available to assist me. They were patient, thorough, and made sure I understood everything I needed to know. This was such a positive experience compared to other clinics I've visited. If other healthcare providers were even half as friendly and knowledgeable as the team here, I would definitely be more inclined to visit them more often. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone in need of medical services, especially for immigration-related requirements. Thank you for making the process so smooth and stress-free!
