Abstract

The purpose of the PROMEKIN II project is to support several healthcare centers in the city of Kinshasa (the hospital referral center for Kingasani, the maternity healthcare center in Binza Météo, and the hospital referral center for Binza). The approved project will supplement this financing in order to support Monkolé referral hospital, the authorized COVID-19 center, as well as partner-hospital networks. It will also contribute to the implementation of a national COVID-19 response plan. It has three components: - Supporting hospital partners so they can be included in the action strategies of the national response plan. - Assisting the Monkolé hospital in its role as the referral center for treating "COVID" patients. - Assisting other establishments with best-practices implementation through the hospital platform's role of providing expertise, consulting, support and training.
