The prolonged strike by health professionals and the persistent insecurity in Bagata territory have had a considerable impact on the activities of the Provincial Health Division (DPS/Kwilu). This is what emerges from the recently organized work of the provincial health sector steering committee.
The health staff strike, which lasted more than a month, caused many difficulties for the DPS/Kwilu. Health indicators have been seriously affected, particularly with regard to comprehensive data collection and epidemiological disease response. These constraints prevented the implementation of certain planned activities.
DPS/Kwilu also recognizes other significant constraints, such as security concerns in Bagata territory. Indeed, the Mobondo phenomenon has created widespread insecurity, making it difficult to carry out health activities in this region.
Faced with these challenges, the DPS/Kwilu is mobilizing to improve the situation in 2024. Measures are being taken to clean up the health sector and remedy the problems encountered. It is crucial to find adequate solutions to guarantee the proper functioning of the health system and ensure the quality of care for the population.
It is regrettable to note that these constraints have direct repercussions on the population, which requires care and adequate support. It is essential that stakeholders work together to resolve these issues and ensure access to essential health services.
The original article that you can find on the blog is an excellent source to complete this analysis of the situation in the Kwilu region. By adding my own writing, I sought to provide a fresh perspective on these constraints and highlight the importance of finding solutions to improve the situation.
