Via Radio Moto Butembo-Beni: BENI: 2nd outbreak of Ebola at Mabuku Hospital. The Google translation:
Second appearance of a case of Ebola virus disease in the Mabuku hospital center, in the rural health zone of Kalunguta in the territory of Beni Saturday, April 27, 2019. The patient had fled the health center MAMBOMBO in the health zone Mabalako. He then went to a health post in Mabuku where he spent a week before going to Mabuku Hospital where he died.
"For me it's really bad because the patient really came to the last sigh. Just when we wanted to do first aid, it was already very serious. Just after, he arrived on April 27 at 1am. He is dead. Then, as in the habit, we must always take on the dead. When we took out, the result was positive Ebola return. Which worried us more; and in the frame, it was found that the patient came from Ngazi. It was there that he was treated a week ago to arrive here in Mabuku. That's how we got a second case here in Mabuku," said Dr. KAMOTO of Mabuku Hospital Center.
Meanwhile, the vaccination went well at Mabuku Hospital. 20 people were vaccinated. The low participation of contacts or of some who have been denied has been noted. And Dr. KAMOTO is shocked.
"Others who are also concerned are avoiding the vaccine and saying that it does not concern them, while the disease exists. People need to understand that the vaccine is there to prevent," he said.
FARDC soldiers and suspected Mai-Mai militia have secured this vaccination campaign.
