In Butembo (North Kivu), Antipas Mbusa Nyamwisi was vaccinated this Saturday, June 29, 2019 against Ebola. This was at the Ebola Treatment Center (ETC) in the concession of the Institute of Agricultural and Veterinary Techniques (ITAV), Lumumba neighborhood, in Kimemi commune.
At the same time, the leader of the RCD / KML visited the patients treated in the CTE. He positively appreciated the mechanisms put in place by the health authorities and their partners to fight back against the disease.
"I think what is done is good because it allows people to recover their health. I have just taken a photo with a lady coming out of this center today, it is very good news. It is very encouraging, we must congratulate these staff who are there every day at their own risk, and who unfortunately also suffer the pressures, attacks of people without faith or law that must be completely discouraged and denounced in case we would find them organizing in one corner or another," said Mbusa Nyamwisi.
He appealed to residents of Butembo and the entire region to scrupulously observe the protocol established by the health authorities to eradicate Ebola.
"There is no other way to go beyond this protocol, which is provided for this purpose. There are diseases like the plague that decimated entire populations centuries ago before the antidote was found for it. We have it for Ebola it's a chance for us. We must discourage all those people who dare to say things they do not know the ins and the outs. There is only one way to do it, you have to follow this protocol, get vaccinated, see if there are people who are at risk and bring them here [to the Ebola treatment center], encourage them so finally we can turn the page on Ebola," said the president of the RCD / KML.
This epidemic is the 10th in the history of the DRC after the one completely controlled in June 2018 in the province of Equateur (West). In North Kivu and Ituri, the epidemic has already claimed more than 1,300 lives.
