About fifty women and their newborns stranded at Katana hospital due to lack of funds

About fifty women who recently gave birth are stranded at FOMULAC hospital in Katana, South Kivu, due to unpaid medical bills. Costs range from 10 dollars for a normal delivery to 50 dollars for a cesarean section. The hospital director, Dr. Bahati Magadju, calls for assistance to help the women return home and urges families to better prepare for childbirth expenses. The security crisis in Eastern DRC complicates the economic situation for many families.
