**Fatshimetrie: Strengthening preventive measures against Mpox at Beach Ngobila**
At a time when the threat of the Mpox epidemic looms over the city of Kinshasa, Beach Ngobila stands on the front line as a strategic river border post. This is where surveillance teams are mobilized to counter the spread of this dreaded disease.
The Provincial Minister of Health, Patrician Gongo, went there to raise awareness and strengthen preventive measures among the agents in charge of controlling entries. His objective is clear: to limit the contamination of Mpox in the Congolese capital. With already 20 confirmed cases and more than 15 suspected cases, the urgency is palpable.
In a context where prevention is key, strategies are being put in place to organize an effective response. Teams are mobilized, partners are involved, and vigilance is required. Avoid contact with dead animals, cook meat thoroughly, wash your hands regularly… These are all simple but essential actions to limit the risk of contamination.
Raising awareness among the population is also a key concern. Recognizing the signs of the disease, acting quickly in the event of a persistent fever, directing patients to treatment centers. These are all measures that can make a difference and help contain the epidemic.
Beyond the figures and technical measures, this is a call for solidarity and individual and collective responsibility. Everyone has a role to play in the fight against Mpox, whether as a health professional, surveillance agent, or conscious citizen.
Beach Ngobila thus becomes the symbol of a general mobilization to preserve the health of the inhabitants of Kinshasa. The challenges are numerous, the stakes crucial, but it is in unity and determination that the key to victory against Mpox lies. By working together, remaining vigilant, and adopting best practices, we can meet this challenge and protect our community.
Prevention is everyone’s business. And it is by joining forces that we can push back Mpox and preserve everyone’s health. Nothing is more important than everyone’s health, and it is together that we can protect our future. Let’s stay mobilized, stay united, and together, let’s overcome this ordeal.
Together, united against Mpox, we are stronger.
