Ebola in Butembo: After 23 days of treatment, Victoire reunites with his family, supported by his wife

After 23 days at the Kitatumba Ebola treatment center in Butembo, Victoire is preparing to reunite with his family after testing negative twice. The nurse believes he contracted the virus while treating a patient who was later confirmed to have Ebola. His wife, Kasoki Zawadi, visited him daily through a glass partition and helped him cope with the hospitalization, including after a negative result was followed by a positive test. MSF also emphasized the importance of psychological support for patients and their families during and after treatment, particularly amid the risk of stigma.
