lors d\u2019une conf\u00e9rence de presse, le directeur par int\u00e9rim d\u2019Africa CDC, Ahmed Ogwell Ouma, a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 \u00ab Nous avons sign\u00e9 le protocole d’accord avec Pfizer, et allons pouvoir mettre ce traitement particulier \u00e0 la disposition des pays africains \u00bb.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n M. Ouma a \u00e9galement pr\u00e9cis\u00e9 que le protocole d’accord pr\u00e9voit la commercialisation du Paxlovid \u00ab \u00e0 prix co\u00fbtant \u00bb<\/em> dans les pays africains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Issu de l\u2019association de deux antiviraux, le nirmatrelvir, d\u00e9velopp\u00e9 Pfizer, et le ritonavir, un produit habituellement utilis\u00e9 dans le traitement des infections au VIH et qui permet de retarder la d\u00e9composition du nirmatrelvir dans l\u2019organisme pour accro\u00eetre son efficacit\u00e9, le Paxlovid, est un m\u00e9dicament facile d\u2019utilisation et de dispensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Autoris\u00e9 depuis fin 2021 aux Etats-Unis, le Paxlovid est prescrit uniquement pour les adultes atteints de covid-19 qui ne sont pas encore sous oxyg\u00e9noth\u00e9rapie et pr\u00e9sentant des risques \u00e9lev\u00e9s de d\u00e9velopper une forme grave de la maladie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Selon des \u00e9tudes cliniques, ce m\u00e9dicament est efficace \u00e0 pr\u00e8s de 90 % pour pr\u00e9venir les hospitalisations et les d\u00e9c\u00e8s chez les adultes class\u00e9s \u00e0 risque.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Les d\u00e9c\u00e8s li\u00e9s \u00e0 la covid-19 signal\u00e9s en Afrique ont officiellement atteint en avril 2022 plus de 252 000 cas, mais l\u2019Organisation mondiale de la sant\u00e9 (OMS) estime que le nombre r\u00e9el de d\u00e9c\u00e8s serait jusqu\u2019\u00e0 dix fois plus \u00e9lev\u00e9 que les chiffres officiellement notifi\u00e9s, en raison des faibles capacit\u00e9s de d\u00e9pistage et de d\u00e9tection.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Le
