Description
Victoire spent 23 days at MSF’s Ebola treatment center in Butembo, and every day his wife Kasoki sat with him, keeping him company on the other side of the plexiglass. At night, his brother would take over.
Ebola is a terrifying disease that frequently infects caretakers and health care workers like Victoire, who thinks he likely was infected with Ebola working at another hospital as a nurse. Fortunately, the inclusion of windows in treatment centers means that family members who want to support their loved ones through the stress and uncertainty of this deadly disease can do so while keeping themselves safe from infection.
“Kasoki’s presence really is part of my care,” Victoire said, “I feel comforted. When I see her, it reduces my stress.”
