DR Congo: Ebola survivors face stigma and community rejection after recovery, MSF says

In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, people who have recovered from Ebola face stigma, job losses and rejection by communities that sometimes still believe they are contagious. In Mongbwalu, Ituri, Médecins Sans Frontières provides medical and psychological follow-up through a “survivors’ clinic.” MSF also holds individual consultations and group sessions to help former patients cope with trauma, social rejection and guilt over the loss of loved ones.
