Renovation of the Mabanga Center in Kinshasa: new hope for Congolese patients
In a recent statement, it was announced that the first lady of the Democratic Republic of Congo, Denise Nyakeru Tshisekedi, visited the Center for Mixed Medicine and Anemia, also known as the Mabanga Center, in Kinshasa. Its objective was to check the progress of the renovation work on this important structure in the care of sickle cell patients.
After seven months of intensive work, the Mabanga Center is finally preparing to reopen its doors. The first lady, committed to the fight against sickle cell anemia, launched this rehabilitation work with the aim of improving treatment conditions for patients suffering from this genetic disease. Thanks to the support of the partners of the Denise Nyakeru Tshisekedi Foundation, the center will benefit from new facilities meeting the strictest health standards.
In addition to renovating existing infrastructure, this work will also add new services, such as ophthalmology and dentistry, to meet the more diverse medical needs of patients. This demonstrates the first lady’s continued commitment to providing comprehensive, quality care to sickle cell patients.
Sickle cell disease is a serious hereditary disease that primarily affects red blood cells and can cause serious and sometimes fatal complications. Faced with this reality, it is essential to have suitable health infrastructure and qualified healthcare personnel to ensure the care of patients suffering from this disease.
The visit of the first lady to the Mabanga Center is encouraging news for Congolese sickle cell patients. By renovating and modernizing this structure, it contributes to strengthening access to health care and improving the quality of life of the people concerned.
The Denise Nyakeru Tshisekedi Foundation plays a major role in this initiative. In addition to providing financial support, it is also involved in raising awareness and early detection of sickle cell disease. It is essential to detect this disease as early as possible so that appropriate treatments can be implemented and complications prevented.
In conclusion, the renovation of the Mabanga Center in Kinshasa represents an important step in the care of sickle cell patients in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Thanks to the efforts of the first lady and the Denise Nyakeru Tshisekedi Foundation, patients will soon have access to modern facilities and diverse medical services. This demonstrates a collective desire to fight sickle cell disease and improve the health of the Congolese population.
