Rumonge : at least 5 cases of monkeypox discovered at the provincial hospital
At least 5 patients showing signs of monkeypox were reported on Wednesday at the Rumonge hospital (southwest Burundi). Among them, a mother and her child. INFO SOS Médias Burundi
The 5 cases were listed until 6 p.m., SOS Médias Burundi learned from medical sources. The mother and child were the first to be detected.
This highly contagious disease scares the population of Rumonge given that in some centers of this province in the southwest of Burundi, the shortage of drinking water is making headlines, which makes prevention against contagion very difficult.
Also on Wednesday afternoon, the Roi Khaled hospital (University Hospital) in the commercial city of Bujumbura, where the first cases were recorded, received a new patient, bringing the number of patients in isolation at this health facility to 7. Other patients are bedridden at the Kamenge Military Hospital, also based in Bujumbura, sources at this hospital said.
