The article is well written and clearly presents information regarding the Congolese government’s willingness to continue its efforts in the vaccination and eradication of poliomyelitis in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
President Félix Tshisekedi welcomed the progress made during the forum on vaccination and the eradication of poliomyelitis which was held recently. He highlighted the government’s commitment to funding immunization, with a significant increase in funds allocated for the purchase of vaccines. This increase made it possible to acquire vaccines for all Congolese children.
However, the President also highlighted the challenges facing the DRC, such as the low rate of vaccination coverage, the presence of epidemic outbreaks and vaccine-derived poliomyelitis which has paralyzed many children.
To meet these challenges, Félix Tshisekedi asked the Minister of Public Health to propose a roadmap for high-impact interventions. The goal is to eradicate vaccine-derived poliomyelitis by the end of 2024 and increase total health coverage to 75% by 2027.
The President stressed the importance of making immunization a priority for the government and asked the Minister of Finance to continue to ensure regular funding for immunization.
The national forum on vaccination and the eradication of poliomyelitis in the DRC brought together various actors involved in the fight against polio. The objective was to strengthen the commitment of the government and partners for the vaccination of all Congolese children.
The article provides essential information and highlights the actions taken by the Congolese government to fight poliomyelitis. However, it could be improved by providing more details on the specific measures envisaged by the Minister of Public Health to deal with the challenges mentioned.
The writing could also be improved by using a more engaging tone and adding concrete examples to support the information presented. Finally, it would be interesting to include testimonials or experts in the field of health to strengthen the argument and give more credibility to the article
