Title: “The renovation of the Mabanga Center in Kinshasa: an important step in the fight against sickle cell disease”
Introduction :
The first lady of the Democratic Republic of Congo, Denise Nyakeru Tshisekedi, recently visited the Mabanga Center in Kinshasa, where renovation work is underway. This initiative aims to offer patients with sickle cell anemia a modernized care space adapted to their needs. In this article, we will look at the importance of the renovation of the Mabanga Center in the fight against this disease, as well as the services and benefits it will offer to patients.
A mixed medicine center serving sickle cell patients:
The Mabanga Center is the only public establishment in the Democratic Republic of Congo to care for patients with sickle cell disease. Under the leadership of the first lady, the rehabilitation work on this center was launched last February. For seven months, teams mobilized to renovate the facilities, improve the care environment and introduce new services.
Facilities adapted to health standards:
Thanks to this renovation work, the Mabanga Center will soon be able to offer new facilities that meet the strictest health standards. This will improve the care of patients with sickle cell disease, by providing optimal reception conditions. In addition, additional services, such as ophthalmology and dentistry, will now be accessible, which will meet the specific needs of patients.
Valuable support from the Denise Nyakeru Tshisekedi Foundation:
To carry out this project, the Denise Nyakeru Tshisekedi Foundation provided considerable financial and logistical support. Thanks to its partners, the Foundation contributed to the renovation of the Mabanga Center and the improvement of its reception capacity. It is also involved in raising awareness of sickle cell disease, encouraging early detection of the disease and supporting patient care structures.
Conclusion :
The renovation of the Mabanga Center in Kinshasa represents a significant step forward in the fight against sickle cell disease in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Thanks to the work carried out, patients suffering from this disease will benefit from a modernized care environment meeting the highest standards. The first lady, Denise Nyakeru Tshisekedi, and the Denise Nyakeru Tshisekedi Foundation played a key role in bringing this important project to fruition, demonstrating their commitment to the health and well-being of the Congolese.
