Ebola in Wamba: Vaccine needed for healthcare workers
October 26, 2026
Wamba, October 26, 2026 (ACP) - A plea for the provision of the Ebola virus disease vaccine to healthcare providers in the Wamba health zone, the epicenter of the disease, was made Monday by the chief medical officer of the health zone in the Haut-Uele province, in the Northeast of the Democratic Republic of Congo, ACP learned from a health source.
" The vaccine against the epidemic had arrived, but it was insufficient; only a portion of the healthcare providers in the Bolebole Health Area had received the vaccine. The need remains constant here at the Wamba General Referral Hospital, in the Treatment Center (CTE) and other health areas ," said Dr. John Niluso, Chief Medical Officer of the Wamba area, in an interview with the ACP.
" We have two (2) messages to send to the authorities, firstly to motivate the frontline staff, who are in contact with confirmed and suspected cases, and secondly, we need the vaccine to be made available to us in the Wamba health zone, but the healthcare staff need to be protected, " he added.
It should be noted that the chief medical officer of the area also expressed the need support for the maintenance of the Ebola treatment center (ETC) at the Wamba General Referral Hospital (GRH), to ensure that patients receive care under good conditions.
