Residents of the Guinean capital Conakry, hit hard by Ebola, say they are afraid to seek treatment at hospitals for fear of being poisoned by doctors, as the death toll across West Africa passed the 3,000 mark.<\/p>\n

Local resident Tairu Diallo said on Friday that people living in his neighbourhood refused to seek medical help and instead stayed at home, trying to alleviate their symptoms with drugs bought at a pharmacy.<\/p>\n

Diallo said people think doctors at hospitals inject patients with a deadly poison.<\/p>\n

“If we have a stomach ache we don’t go to hospital because doctors there will inject you and you will die,” he said.<\/p>\n

Many Guineans say local and foreign healthcare workers are part of a conspiracy which either deliberately introduced the outbreak, or invented it as a means of luring Africans to clinics to harvest their blood and organs.<\/p>\n

Earlier in September, eight people, including journalists and Ebola-related educators,\u00a0were killed<\/a>\u00a0in southeastern Guinea.<\/p>\n

The World Health Organisation (WHO) said on Friday that the death toll in West Africa has risen to at least 3,091 out of 6,574\u00a0probable, suspected and confirmed cases.<\/p>\n

Liberia has recorded 1,830 deaths, around three times as\u00a0many as in either Guinea or Sierra Leone, the two other most\u00a0affected countries,\u00a0according to WHO data<\/a>\u00a0received up to September 23.<\/p>\n

An outbreak that began in a remote corner of Guinea has\u00a0taken hold of much of neighbouring Liberia and Sierra Leone,\u00a0prompting warnings that tens of thousands of people may die from\u00a0the worst outbreak of the disease on record.
\nThe WHO said Liberia had reported six confirmed cases\u00a0of Ebola and four deaths in the Grand Cru district, which is\u00a0near the border with Ivory Coast and had not previously recorded\u00a0any cases of Ebola.<\/p>\n

Liberia’s chief medical officer, Bernice Dahn,\u00a0said that she is placing herself under quarantine for 21 days after her office assistant died of Ebola.<\/p>\n

Dahn, who has represented Liberia at regional conferences intended to combat the ongoing epidemic, told the Associated Press on Saturday that she did not have any Ebola symptoms but wanted to ensure she was not infected.<\/p>\n

Ivory Coast President Alassane Ouattara said on Friday that his country\u00a0will lift the controversial suspension of flights to countries affected by the Ebola virus.\u00a0He said there was no longer a reason to restrict air travel.<\/p>\n

There are no reported cases of Ebola in Ivory Coast.<\/p>\n

Nigeria and Senegal, the two other nations that have had confirmed cases of Ebola in the region, have not recorded any new cases or deaths in the last few weeks<\/p>\n
