Description:
UNICEF Executive Director Ann M. Veneman is in the Democratic Republic of the Congo for a five-day visit to assess the situation of women and children amidst what is widely seen as Africa's worst humanitarian crisis. Here is one in a series of related reports. KINSHASA, Democratic Republic of the Congo, 26 August 2009 As this country tries to recover from years of civil war and unrest, the Biamba Marie Mutombo Hospital (BMMH) offers hope in an impoverished Kinshasa neighbourhood. VIDEO: Watch now Mutombo Hospital, opened in 2007, aims to be a model for the rebuilding of a national medical system in DR Congo, where the collapse of the health care infrastructure has left millions vulnerable to a multitude of illnesses that are easily preventable in much of the developed world. We have suffered a lot, says Dikembe Mutombo, the Congolese-American basketball legend whose foundation built the hospital named in memory of his mother. The civil unrest in the country has destroyed the fabric of our society when it comes to the health care system, he added.
