Title: Donation of medical and orthopedic equipment to support hospitals in Kinshasa
Introduction :
With the aim of facilitating access to quality health care in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Secretary General of Social Affairs provided medical and orthopedic kits to three hospitals in Kinshasa. This donation, offered by the American NGO Project CURE, strengthens the partnership with the National Fund for Promotion and Social Service (FNPSS). This initiative aims to provide valuable assistance to hospitals and health centers to meet the needs of the Congolese population.
An essential contribution to public health:
The Mother and Child Center of Bumbu, the Integrated Social Action Center of Matete and the Rehabilitation Center for disabled people of Kinshasa are the beneficiaries of this generous donation. These establishments, under the supervision of the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Social Affairs, are pillars of healthcare provision in the Congolese capital. Thanks to these medical and orthopedic kits, they will be able to improve their patient care capabilities and offer quality services.
A fruitful partnership between Projet CURE and the FNPSS:
This initiative is the result of a solid partnership between the American NGO Project CURE and the National Fund for Promotion and Social Service. Since the start of this project, more than ten hospitals, health centers and reference hospitals have already benefited from this equipment. The FNPSS works closely with the Ministry of Health to map needs across the country and identify priority establishments. This approach ensures equitable distribution of these medical and orthopedic kits throughout the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Involvement of public and private actors:
In addition to public establishments, private hospitals managed as charities will also benefit from this valuable aid. This contribution demonstrates the commitment of civil society and the private sector to improving health services in the DRC. By integrating vulnerable people into this approach, the project aims to guarantee access to care for all, regardless of their economic situation or their disability.
Conclusion :
This donation of medical and orthopedic equipment represents a significant step forward in improving the provision of health care in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Thanks to the collaboration between Projet CURE and the FNPSS, several hospital establishments, both public and private, will be able to strengthen their patient care capacities. This initiative will ensure better access to quality care for the entire Congolese population, particularly the most vulnerable.
