Together, we are working to inform greater populations about the importance of hygienic practices: “We focus on preventive measures in raising the awareness of the masses in the churches by sending out SMS messages, and [through] the local media,” explains the Bishop Gabriel Unda Yemba of the East Congo Episcopal Region. The Communications Team in East Congo, led by Judith Osongo, is currently carrying out this mission of engaging with affected communities through various media outlets.

The Democratic Republic of Congo experienced two episodes of the Ebola virus disease: first in early May in the health zones of Bikoro, Iboko and Mbandaka in the Equateur Province, (in the northern part of the country); then at the beginning of August in the Beni region, in the North Kivu Province (Eastern DRC), with the extension in Ituri (Northeast).
