Introduction :
The Mabanga Center, the only public establishment for the care of sickle cell patients in the Democratic Republic of Congo, is about to reopen its doors. After 7 months of renovation and modernization work, the first lady Denise Nyakeru Tshisekedi inspected the progress of the project. In this article, we review the objectives and improvements brought about by this initiative, which marks a major step forward in the fight against sickle cell disease in the country.
A reference center undergoing renovation:
As part of the fight against sickle cell anemia, a genetic blood disease that affects many people in the DRC, the first lady launched the Mabanga Center rehabilitation and modernization project last February. This center, founded several years ago, is the only public establishment dedicated to the care of sickle cell patients in the country.
Extensive work has been carried out to provide an environment conducive to patients and quality nursing staff. The facilities and equipment have been completely renovated, thus meeting the strictest health standards. In addition, new services such as ophthalmology and dentistry will now be accessible to meet the specific needs of patients.
The commitment of the Denise Nyakeru Tshisekedi Foundation:
The Denise Nyakeru Tshisekedi Foundation, in collaboration with partners, played an essential role in the realization of this project. The foundation has not only provided financial support, but also worked in sickle cell disease awareness and prevention.
Thanks to this initiative, sickle cell patients will be able to benefit from quality care and appropriate medical monitoring. The reopening of the Mabanga Center marks a significant step forward in the fight against this disease in the DRC.
