Evangelical Medical Centre

The Evangelical Medical Centre (CEM) in Bunia, Congo, is a healthcare facility that has recently gained attention due to its involvement in the response to the Ebola outbreak in eastern Congo. The World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, visited health workers at the CEM in late May 2026, highlighting the center's role in combating the disease. This visit coincided with the opening of a new treatment center in eastern Congo and the announcement of five Ebola recoveries, underscoring the ongoing efforts to manage and treat the virus. The CEM's participation is significant as it operates within an area affected by the outbreak, contributing to critical medical interventions and patient care. Its involvement signifies the collaborative efforts between local health organizations and international bodies like the WHO in addressing public health crises.
