Kasaï – Health: “kuankara”, new epidemic reported in the rural health zones of Ndjoko Punda and Luebo
By Sadam Kapanda from Tshikapa
The population of the Grand Kasaï area is the victim of a new epidemic locally called “Kuankara”. It was Mr. Claude Bopey, focal point of the Voix des Jeunes du Grand Kasaï (VJKA/ Luebo), who made this announcement to Congopresse.
In his words, Claude Bope pleads with the government and health partners so that a team of health experts be commissioned in order to fight against this recurring epidemic which affects the population of the rural health zone of Ndjoko Punda and that of Luebo, located in the territory of Luebo, in the province of Kasai.
"That the government and health partners find adequate preventive measures, because this epidemic in the form of scabies has been observed for more than two years without treatment or vaccines, which can attack it and currently affects several people, including children and adults", he indicated.
"The doctors and nurses who are on the spot also do not know the cause, mode of transmission and what appropriate treatment is needed for this epidemic with a very ascending pace", he concluded.

It is the civil society of Ndjoko Punda, which alerts the central government to dispatch a team of experts for the health care of an epidemic called Kuankara which is surfacing in this region of the province of Kasaï and contaminating the children of several homes.
To News.cd , Claude Bopey, focal point of the Voix des jeunes du Grand Kasaï, a large number of the population of the rural health zone of Ndjoko punda and that of Luebo are affected by this epidemic. However, but remains without proper care
"We call on the government and health partners to finally take adequate preventive measures, given that this epidemic, which has the form of scabies, has been observed for more than two years and still does not have appropriate pharmaceutical products or vaccines. Since its resurgence, several households have been affected by this virus which does not have quality medical treatment to prevent the worst”. Confirm it!
As a result, the local population invites the Doctors and nurses of the Ndjoko Punda health zone to set up their professional experiences in order to identify the real cause, mode of transmission and treatment to annihilate this epidemic.
