The Presidential Clinic of the Cité de l’Union africaine has a new Pavilion. This building, named after the First Lady of the Republic, Denise Nyakeru Tshisekedi, was inaugurated on Wednesday, September 11, 2019 in Kinshasa, capital of the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The Denise Nyakeru Tshisekedi Pavilion is equipped with the latest generation of state-of-the-art equipment capable of treating a maximum of 100 patients per day. It includes two hospital rooms, two consultation booths, a sampling room, a laboratory and a reception area equipped with 25 seats.

Two highlights marked the inauguration ceremony presided over by the First Lady.

First of all, the occasional word from the medical director, Dr. Joseph Kangudia Mbaya, who paid tribute to the Head of State, Felix-Antoine Tshisekedi Tshilombo, for his clearly expressed commitment to the country’s overall development, particularly in the health and well-being sector.

This Brigade general indicated that the inauguration of the Denise Nyakeru Tshisekedi Pavilion is in line with the logic of continuing the materialization of an old project to provide the presidential clinic with the necessary and modern infrastructure for its proper functioning.

The symbolic ribbon was cut by the First Lady to the frenetic applause of the medical staff and patients present at the site.

This ceremony ended with a visit to the various departments of the new pavilion. Denise Nyakeru Tshisekedi signed the guest book marking her visit to the African Union Presidential Clinic, the second since the inauguration of her husband, Head of State Felix Tshisekedi Tshilombo.
