The Matanda Ebola Treatment Center at Matanda Secondary Referral Hospital in North Kivu, Democratic Republic of the Congo, released four adults from the facility.
Hospital management confirmed that two men and two women successfully recovered from the Ebola disease. This release brings the total number of patients cured at the facility to 29 since the center opened on September 23.
One of the survivors, Kyakimwa Kavutirwaki Micheline, a clinical psychologist, contracted the virus while providing patient care at her own health facility. She spent 24 days at the center after initially seeking treatment for fever and diarrhea. Dr. Nzanzu Furaha Blaise Pascal, an attending physician at the center, noted that patients often hesitate to seek treatment at such facilities. During the same week in Butembo City, the Katwa Ebola Treatment Center also discharged several people.
That center reported six patients cured and three others declared non-cases between October 19 and October 23.
