A 42-day-old baby was discharged from the Katwa CTE on Saturday, May 11, 2019. Daniella was admitted to the CTE with her mother on April 11, 2019 when she was only 12 days old. Her mother, who arrived in a state of advanced coma, died at CTE the next day. Daniella was collected on April 12 and was positive. After 30 days of treatment with mAb 114, Daniella was cured. She survived thanks to the work of the health staff and the nannies who took turns at her bedside 24 hours a day but also because she was taken care of as soon as she became ill. Nannies are men and women cured of Ebola, and therefore immune to the virus, who care for sick children and babies during their hospitalization.//
[Since departure of MSF from conflict zone and transfer to DRC MOH]:
-
Increased number of health providers in CTEs. The new managers continued to work with MSF-trained caregivers, but they also recruited more care providers to ensure better individual follow-up for each patient. Moreover, from now on, the whole of the medical staff is Congolese and has been recruited locally. //
