Twenty-seven people with Ebola virus Djera (Ecuador) are cured, said Tuesday, Sept. 23 medical advisor to the Minister of Health, Dr Roland Shodu Lomani Radio Okapi. "In 68 cases, if you subtract 41, we have 27 cases were treated by us and heal," said he said. Medical adviser to the Minister of Health explained that the problem [the epidemic] is not as strong in the DRC "because the country has the mastery of the situation. The government has put substantial resources to start the response, he said.
Dr. Roland Shodu Lomani also regretted "the lack of interest in the international community about the epidemic [Ebola] raging in the DRC." He still hopes that the international community "will change his mind to return to the Congo" to support the efforts of the government. Dr. Roland Shodu Lomani recognizes, however, that some donors have helped to combat Ebola outbreak.
The Ebola outbreak was declared last August. 68 cases have been recorded since the beginning of the disease, including 41 deaths including 8 health workers.
