The Democratic Republic of Congo is continuing its efforts in terms of vaccination and eradication of poliomyelitis. President Félix Tshisekedi calls on the government to continue its actions despite persistent challenges such as vaccination coverage below 50% and the presence of epidemic outbreaks. The Congolese government has committed to financing vaccination at the national level and has tripled the budget allocated to the purchase of vaccines. President Tshisekedi asks the Minister of Health to propose a roadmap to meet these challenges and achieve the objectives set by 2024. Vaccination remains a priority and funding must be provided on a regular basis. The DRC also organized a forum on vaccination and polio eradication to mobilize government actors and partners. It is essential to continue to mobilize resources and partners to guarantee the health of Congolese children.
