"The Congolese government is on general alert regarding this disease," Kamba said, highlighting the urgent response to a mysterious flu-like illness that has caused numerous fatalities in the region.
Kamba mentioned, "The health system is quite weak in our rural areas, but for certain types of care, the ministry has all the provisions," indicating challenges in managing health crises in remote locales.
Panzi resident Claude Niongo recounted, "I only noticed high fevers, vomiting...and then death," providing a poignant personal account of the tragic impact of the disease on families.
Authorities have reported 71 deaths, with significant casualties among children under five, as the health minister confirmed, "Almost half of the cases were in this vulnerable age group."
