Additional Information / Shotlist Salamabila, South Kivu Province/DRC

Since 2019, Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) teams have been working in eight areas of the Salamabila health zone in Maniema.

In support of the Ministry of Health, MSF provides care for children under 15, women of childbearing age and people in health emergencies.

In this health zone, our teams provide care for patients suffering from various diseases, including malaria, malnutrition, and respiratory and waterborne diseases.

At the hospital, the main reason for consultation is malaria.

In Salamabila, Malaria is due to the bad use of insecticide-treated nets and the poor hygiene and sanitation of the environment.

The general hospital of Salamabila records an average of 150 cases of malaria per month.

To respond to the different diseases, the Nutritional Intensive Treatment Unit (NITU) and the pediatric section were built.

For appropriate care, patients are referred to the Salamabila General Hospital

MSF has set up a protocol for referring patients from the periphery to the hospital by motorbike and ensures their return after their recovery.

I was transferred from Kimbaseke, for the care of my daughter, the transport by motorcycle and the care are free.

I was well received and taken care of for free.

For patients requiring tertiary care, MSF provides transfers from Salamabila to Bukavu.
