News of the response
Minister of Health visits Butembo teams
- The Minister of Health, Dr. Oly Ilunga Kalenga, went to Butembo this Tuesday, April 23, 2019 to comfort the teams of the response after the tragic events of the Easter weekend. The teams were still in shock, so it was important for the Minister to be with them so that they know they are not alone in this event. He regretted that the unacceptable happened as teams' efforts began to bear fruit in the field. In recent weeks, there has been an increase in the number of reported alerts and greater ownership of the response by the community, which has begun to open its eyes to the danger posed by this disease. With these advances, it was then possible to hope for a reduction in the number of cases in the city of Butembo in the near future.
- However, the Minister of Health insisted on the importance for the teams not to give up and continue to reach out to this wounded population. He noted that several community leaders, who were so far silent, have strongly condemned the murder of Dr. Richard Mouzoko. Moreover, when he arrived in Butembo, the Minister was greeted by a delegation of customary chiefs who assured him that they were fully involved in sensitizing the population. He hopes this will further facilitate the work of the response teams.
- He asked the security commission to do its job to ensure the safety of all the actors involved in this response because it is not normal for a person to lose their life when they came to heal and save their lives. millions of Congolese. He reminded the teams that they have no choice but to finish off this epidemic as soon as each passing day is an extra day when officers are exposed to violence. Ending once and for all with the epidemic is also the best way to honor the memory of all the colleagues who died during this epidemic, but also of all the patients for whom the health workers fought and who did not survived the disease.
