Lubero health zone: more than ten confirmed Ebola cases, 11 deaths recorded in Munyakondomi

Thu 17/09/2026 - 13:19

The situation remains concerning in the Lubero health zone of North Kivu, where the Ebola virus disease outbreak continues to strain health teams. The Munyakondomi health area, located southeast of Lubero town, is particularly affected and considered one of the main epicenters of the outbreak in this health zone. The evolving situation and the challenges encountered in the response were the focus of a meeting held in Lubero on Tuesday, September 15, with health officials and community leaders.

The Lubero health zone in North Kivu faces several challenges in the fight against Ebola virus disease, while the Munyakondomi health area remains particularly affected.

The chief medical officer for the health zone, Dr. Charles Kaviri, reported 16 confirmed cases, including 11 deaths, in this health area. Four patients have, according to him, abandoned their treatment, while one active case is currently being monitored in a health facility.


Delays in accessing healthcare are one of the main challenges reported by health authorities. According to Dr. Charles Kaviri, some patients arrive late at healthcare facilities, which reduces their chances of survival and can facilitate the transmission of the virus within the community.

The chief medical officer of the area also reports resistance in some communities, refusal of care, and cases of patients leaving health facilities before the end of their treatment.

Faced with these challenges, Dr. Charles Kaviri is calling on the public to cooperate with the teams involved in the response. He specifically encourages anyone experiencing suspicious symptoms to consult a health facility promptly and urges community leaders to intensify awareness campaigns on epidemic prevention and control measures.

Despite support from the Congolese government and several partners, including the World Health Organization, WHO, and ALIMA, in the various response activities, health authorities in the Lubero health zone are calling for increased resources to continue surveillance, patient care, and community awareness in the affected areas.
