In a press release published Wednesday, October 16, the diocese of Kikwit (Kwilu) deplored the barbarity that occurred last Monday at the Mosango General Reference Hospital managed by the diocesan office of medical works (BDOM) in Kikwit.
According to the administrator of this territory, Emery Kanguma, the population rose up to protest against the transfer of the doctor director of this establishment.
In its press release, the diocese of Kikwit explains that it is rather a collective assignment made last September by Monsignor Timothée Bodika, with the aim of exchanging skills in the different health structures managed by this diocese.
He also specifies that the doctor director of this hospital who was assigned to Paykongila, did not agree with this permutation, which led to scuffles.
While the handover and recovery should begin between the outgoing and incoming medical directors, a gang of uncivil people descended on the abbots’ convent and the hospital, beating and breaking everything in their path, and even the priests’ homes, perhaps. we read in this press release.
The diocese of Kikwit denounces this behavior which it describes as “barbaric and regionalist” in the middle of the 21st century.
He congratulates the police who showed professionalism in the face of the provocation and attack of these young people.
In this same document, the diocese calls on the provincial authorities and the order of doctors to take their responsibilities in the face of this “rebellious” doctor responsible for the violence observed Monday in Mosango.
All attempts to obtain the reaction of the outgoing medical director of the Mosango hospital were unsuccessful.
At least 6 police officers were injured, two weapons stolen, houses and a nuns’ convent ransacked during a violent demonstration by the population at this hospital on Tuesday October 15 in Masimanimba territory.
