Dr Jérémie Muhindo urges people to seek prompt care if they show symptoms, according to Kivu Morning Post.
Before their families and centre staff, the seven survivors thanked the health workers for the care and support they received during their stay, Kivu Morning Post reports. The ceremony was held at the Ebola Treatment Centre run by the NGO International Medical Corps (IMC), located at the Beni General Referral Hospital in eastern DR Congo.
This discharge follows a ceremony held on Monday at the same centre, where thirteen other recovered patients received their recovery certificates, a record of thirteen recovered patients discharged from the treatment centre.
Dr Jérémie Muhindo urges the public not to give in to fear and to seek prompt care at a health facility as soon as suspicious symptoms appear. He stresses laboratory diagnosis, the only way to determine whether it is Ebola or another illness. According to him, fear of going to health facilities exposes some people to avoidable deaths in the community.
