  1. “In conclusion, on behalf of the Government of Mali, I would like to reiterate our commitment to fully cooperate with the international community, including the United Nations, the Economic Community of West African States, the African Union, the European Union, other affected countries, as well as bilateral and multilateral partners, in order to rid our planet of the spectre of this dreadful disease, which is a true threat to international peace and security.”

  2. “We have also established a rapid response team and put in place provisions for awareness-raising and information that urge people to avoid unnecessary travel to the epidemic areas and to observe health and safety measures. Along the same lines, an isolation centre has been set up in Kouremale, on the border with Guinea, which will be supported by the health services of the armed and security forces. As one can see, the Government of Mali, despite its limited resources, is firmly committed to cooperation with all segments of society to contain the disease and expel it from our region, which, one must recognize, is facing all kinds of innumerable challenges. We call on the international community for more substantial and coordinated mobilization in support of the efforts of affected and neighbouring countries for preventive reasons.”

  3. “That plan includes the following elements: the appointment of a person with proven expertise as coordinator of the emergency operational centre against Ebola; the strengthening of health controls at land borders and airports through the setting up of quarantines; the opening of two hot lines for questions from the public; the activation of standing committees to manage diseases at all levels; the creation of a coordinating committee for prevention activities and the care of Ebola; and the establishment of a rapid response team. In addition, we have stepped up epidemiological surveillance throughout the entire country, particularly in the border regions with Guinea, Senegal, Cote d'Ivoire and Mauritania.”

  5. “In accordance with its commitments to transparency, the Government of Mali provides daily reports at the national and internationals through the Ministry of Health and Public Hygiene on the eradication of the Ebola virus in Mali. As of 20 November, the situation is as follows. The number of persons who had contact with the disease counted by the health services and who are being monitored is 310 in total. Of those contacts, two new suspects were identified and are undergoing tests at present. Those linked to the Kayes case are no longer being monitored, as the emergence of illness occurs within 21 days. Those contacts are no longer counted, hence the drop in the number of contact persons in relation to previous situations.”

  6. “Faced with that situation, urgent provisions were taken to identify the following: first, the host family in Bamako; secondly, the travelling companions of the little girl and her grandmother; thirdly, the medical staff who had first contact; and, fourthly, the neighbours of the residence in Kayes. All those people were cared for and placed under strict monitoring. The transportation vehicle was also found and disinfected. On 10 November, another patient from a neighbouring country was admitted to a private clinic in Bamako. The results of the blood test performed on the two health workers who had contact with the patient proved positive for the Ebola virus. Unfortunately, the patient and both health workers all died of the same disease.”

  7. “Unfortunately, my country recorded its first confirmed case ofthe Ebola virus disease on 23 October, in the Kayes region, in the west of the country. The patient, a two-year-old girl, reached Bamako from a friendly neighbouring country on 20 October after the funeral of her father. The little girl and her grandmother, who was travelling with her, made a four-hour stopover with a family in Bamako before going on to Kayes. As soon as the first symptoms of fever appeared in the little girl on 22 October, her family had her admitted to a clinic and then to the Kayes regional hospital as a suspect case. The teams sent from Bamako to bolster regional services made the necessary tests and analyzed the samples, which were positive. Even though she was cared for immediately, the little girl unfortunately passed away.”

  8. “In the same vein, my delegation wishes to thank the United Nations, through Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, for the great mobilization and the demonstration of solidarity so promptly manifested towards countries affected by the Ebola virus. Among others steps in that direction was the creation of the United Nations Mission for Ebola Emergency Response and the recent visit of Mr. Banbury, Head of that Mission, to Guinea and Mali. My delegation also wishes to express the gratitude of the people and the Government of Mali to our bilateral and multilateral partners, including subregional and regional African bodies, in their determination to continue their efforts in the fight against the disease.”

  9. “Mr. Doucoure (Mali) (spoke in French): First of all, Sir, I would like to extend the sincere congratulations of my delegation upon the accession of your country, Australia, to the presidency of the Security Council for the month of November. I also welcome the United States initiative taken to convene this meeting, whose aim is to pool our efforts, our minds and our experiences with a view to containing and eradicating this serious disease, which from every point of view has a negative impact on the economies of directly affected countries, including Mali today. I also wish to congratulate Mr. David Nabarro, Mr. Anthony Banbury and Mr. Thomas Mauget for their leadership and for the quality of their respective briefings.”
