WHO (2015) reports a decline in the under-five mortality rate from 12.7 million per year in 1990 to 5.9 million in 2015. This is the first year that this figure has fallen below 6 million. However, 2 to 3 million of these deaths were attributed to vaccine-preventable diseases. Improving immunisation coverage is therefore advocated as an essential measure for the continued reduction of child mortality. In the DRC, immunisation coverage rates have increased significantly. This allows us to assume that the morbidity-mortality curve of vaccine-preventable childhood diseases would also be...

Rotavirus diarrhoea is a major public health problem in D.R. Congo. According to WHO statistics, this disease causes 483,000 deaths of children aged 0-59 months per year worldwide, most affected in sub-Saharan African countries. From 1 January 2015 to 31 December 2016, the total number of recorded cases of diarrhoea in children aged 0-59 months was 251. It outlines increasingly current and relevant evidence for improving the conditions and quality of life of communities to introduce a new vaccine against Rotavirus in children aged 0-59 months in the DRC. To this end, we have found it...

HIV/AIDS is a major scourge throughout the world, particularly in the DR Congo, and in many hospitals and health centres 80% of hospitalization and mortality rates are linked to this pandemic. HIV/AIDS is a disease that carries a heavy social and economic burden in DR Congo. The female sex was dominant compared to the male (286 female cases against 135 male cases). After analysing the results in our possession, we can say that there is a possibility of transmitting the virus because not all of the PVV is safe. This means that the follow-up of People Living with HIV at a distance does not...

Diabetes is a chronic disease that occurs when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or the body does not use the insulin it produces properly. Type 2 diabetes is the result of the body's misuse of insulin and accounts for more than 90% of diabetes worldwide. This disease is spreading rapidly throughout the world and is characterised by chronic hyperglycaemia, especially in adults, and is more prevalent in overweight people. In many health institutions, more than 80% of diabetes deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries such as the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). This book...
