Butembo: Four More Ebola Survivors Leave Matanda Treatment Centre

Four adults—two women and two men—left the Ebola treatment centre at Matanda Secondary Referral Hospital in Butembo on Saturday, October 24, 2026. Their recoveries bring the centre’s total to 29 patients cured since it officially opened on September 23. Survivor Kyakimwa Kavutirwaki Micheline, a clinical psychologist who said she contracted Ebola at her health facility and spent 24 days at the centre, urged the public to take the disease seriously and health workers to follow protective measures. At the Katwa treatment centre, six people were declared cured between October 19 and 23, while three other patients were classified as non-cases.
