Every year between July and December, the pediatric ward at Tahoua Regional Hospital became overwhelmed during the peak malaria season. Overcrowded rooms, children sharing beds, and limited space made it difficult for health workers to provide quality care. According to Dr. Sabo Sahabi, the hospital could not turn patients away despite the lack of capacity, resulting in poor hygiene, challenging working conditions, and discomfort for both patients and caregivers. After witnessing these conditions during a hospital visit in 2021, the women staff of World Vision International Niger decided to take action. They supported the construction of a new pediatric ward, completed in 2023 and officially handed over in 2024. Equipped with 12 beds, mattresses, fans, medical furniture, and air conditioning, the ward now provides a safer and more comfortable environment for sick children. Used mainly during the malaria season, the new ward has eased overcrowding, improved patient care, and created better working conditions for medical staff, bringing lasting hope to the hospital and the families it serves.

World Vision Ghana, in partnership with the National NTD Programme, is strengthening community-based surveillance and care for neglected tropical diseases through the training of frontline health workers, improving early detection, referrals, NHIS enrolment and access to essential healthcare services.

The Ebola crisis you remember was back in 2014 in Sierra Leone, Guinea, and Liberia. But the current one in the DRC is actually growing far faster than that one did. Ebola has faded out of the news because there's been a lot of news to tell and limited time to tell it, but also because the story is hard to put into headlines. It's wrapped in complex layers of history, traditions, and systemic failure that have combined to make everything worse. So Chirs Montgomery has put together this video to better understand what makes Ebola so hard to combat in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
