The installation of control and prevention points against Ebola is being done gradually in the Butembo-Lubero region. It was the provincial minister of health of North Kivu who said it on Wednesday February 24 to Radio Okapi in Butembo, in reaction to the concern expressed by civil society actors.
The Biena health zone located in the northwestern part of the Lubero territory has so far been considered the focus of the 12th Ebola epidemic that is raging in the region. Among the cases already recorded since the start of the epidemic, the largest number have come from this health zone. The latter is connected to the city of Butembo from two main axes. These are the Butembo-Mangurejipa and Butembo-Butuhe axis.
However, since the declaration of the epidemic, no measures to control and prevent the spread of the disease have been installed at these different points, worry civil society actors in the Bapere sector. The inhabitants therefore move freely without any precaution of checking their state of health, report our sources in the area.
Aware of the situation, the Provincial Minister of Health of North Kivu, Dr Nzanzu Salita affirms that the installation of control and prevention points against Ebola is being done gradually.
