“We are transferring [to the Republic of the Congo] a large laboratory […] this year. A total of 30 people have already been trained in our anti-epidemic work technologies. And by the end of the year, another 40 people will be in Russia; we will train them,” she stated.
“There was a large outbreak of intestinal infections, primarily typhoid fever. We received an order from our president, and a team immediately flew out. We took the laboratory with us, our colleagues worked very quickly. Within literally the first two weeks, the incidence rate decreased 16 times. By the end of the month — and my colleagues worked there for a month — they managed to completely eliminate the entire epidemic in the city,” the head of Rospotrebnadzor described what happened.
“They were given the opportunity to be accommodated, provided with security, and given every opportunity to work,” she explained, adding that Russian and Congolese specialists worked together. “An important result and an important continuation.”
