The first teams in the Ebola response are expected to leave Kinshasa for Goma in North Kivu on Saturday (July 27th) under the leadership of the executive secretary of the multisectoral Ebola Committee, Dr. Muyembe Tamfum. The question of security was at the center of the talks, the day before in Kinshasa, between the interim Minister of the Interior, Basile Olongo, and this technical secretariat.
"The fight against Ebola currently has two bottlenecks. The first bottleneck is the non-commitment of the population and the second bottleneck is insecurity, " told the press Muyembe Tamfum, the technical secretariat of this committee, to the result of the interview between the two parties.
The fight against Ebola is no longer just a health problem, he said, but a multisectoral problem.
"We are proposing that the police accompany the Ebola teams in the field," said Dr. Muyembe Tamfum.
More than 1,700 people have already died from this epidemic in North Kivu and Ituri for more than a year.
