Groupe de Travail de Kikwit

The Groupe de Travail de Kikwit was a specialized team formed during the 1995 Ebola outbreak in Kikwit, Democratic Republic of Congo. Its purpose was to coordinate health responses, investigate the disease, and implement containment measures to prevent its spread. This team included healthcare workers, scientists, and government officials working collaboratively to manage the crisis effectively. Their efforts helped improve understanding of Ebola, control transmission, and develop strategies for future outbreaks. The group's work was crucial in limiting the impact of the epidemic and strengthening the region's ability to respond to similar health emergencies.
