Thank you for these clarifications and giving a clearer perspective. With the ongoing fights and violence in the DRC I keep being worried, especially for the refugees and many displaced people in the region, how the interventions will be possible to help them. Thank you again Dr. van Kerkhove and Dr. Ramadan for the closing words. Our health is a global issue and a mutual and shared responsibility!
