The tragic accident that occurred on the RN2 between Miti and Kavumu, in the South Kivu region, caused a real influx of victims into local hospitals. Among the 67 people injured, some unfortunately lost their lives, while others are fighting for their survival. However, doctors on site face an alarming situation due to the glaring lack of medical inputs to ensure adequate care.
Dr. Serge Munyahu, head doctor of the Miti-Murhesa health zone, testified about the difficulties encountered in caring for the victims of the accident. With a large number of injured to be treated, the capacities of local hospitals are saturated. Despite the efforts of medical staff, the lack of medical inputs compromises the quality of care provided to patients.
Faced with this critical situation, Dr Munyahu is launching an urgent appeal for help. He emphasizes that, despite the resources mobilized and the support of certain partners, medical inputs remain insufficient to meet the growing needs of victims. He therefore calls on the solidarity and generosity of partners and people of good will to help local hospitals and relieve the distress of medical teams.
This traffic accident, which occurred in the South Kivu region, highlights the challenges facing health establishments in the DRC. In addition to caring for victims, it raises the crucial question of accessibility to quality care and essential medical inputs to save lives.
In conclusion, the tragedy that occurred on the RN2 between Miti and Kavumu reminds us of the importance of solidarity and commitment to public health. It is imperative to support local hospitals and ensure an adequate supply of medical inputs to ensure quality care for anyone in need.
