, adding yet another health crisis to the mix — one that threatens to both steal the spotlight from other problems and hinder the country's ability to manage them all.UNICEF and partners are already supporting COVID-19 response and containment measures in the DRC, as in other high-risk countries, as part of a that includes enabling routine vaccinations for kids to continue, and providing nutrition, access to education, psychosocial support and other services.
More support is needed, however, to help the DRC shore up essential health services in the face of multiple health risks, and reach every child. “Strengthening the DRC’s basic health care system is absolutely vital,” Beigbeder said. “Unless health facilities have the means to deliver immunization, nutrition and other essential services, including in remote areas of the country, we risk seeing the lives and futures of many Congolese children scarred or destroyed by preventable diseases.
Mamba Bwanga, 25, lost two of her children to measles within days of each other, amid the worst measles epidemic in the DRC's history.“In the days to come, governments may have to temporarily postpone preventive mass vaccination campaigns in many places to ensure that the delivery of immunization services does not contribute to COVID-19 spread, and to follow recommendations on physical distancing," Fore said.
