The Ebola Treatment Center (CTE) of Masoya, in Lubero territory, near Butembo in North Kivu, was vandalized by young people angry at the death of one of their own this Thursday, March 11, 2021.
The information was reported to the press by the provincial minister of health in North Kivu, Doctor Nzanzu Salita Eug?ne, who is staying in the town of Butembo to closely monitor the epidemiological situation.
?You heard that CTE / Masoya was attacked, but we are told that it was instead vandalized. By the way, these are young people from a village called Ngere, in the neighboring health area of ??Masoya. One of theirs died in isolation at the Masoya referral health center. They came to collect the body. And in this anger, they broke the chairs, the stools. And the population of Masoya, having understood the response to the Ebola virus disease, came to defend the CTE so that there was not much damage, ? he explained to the microphone of 7SUR7.CD.
Since the resurgence of Ebola virus disease in North Kivu on February 7, 2021, the cumulative number of cases is 12. These are 11 confirmed cases and one probable case. There were 3 cured, 6 deaths (or 50%) and 3 active patients.
During the tenth Ebola epidemic between 2018 and 2020, several armed attacks were recorded against treatment centers and healthcare workers in North Kivu. Attacks that handicapped the evolution of the response against the epidemic which had finally been defeated in June 2020.
