Congolese Government Minister Visits HEAL Africa 2008

The Minister of Gender, Family, and Children in the Congolese central government, Madame Marie-Ange Lukiana, visited the HEAL Africa hospital in Goma to see the assistance given to women and children affected by the war.

After a word of compassion with survivors of sexual violence who are treated at the HEAL Africa hospital, Madame Lukiana said:

"I have come and I have seen and I am impressed by the work done by HEAL Africa in the favor of our wounded compatriotes, above all women and children who are survivors of sexual violence. HEAL Africa merits all the support of the government and actors implicated in the battle against this odious phenomenon. I encourage the whole team in this good work".
