剛果缺乏醫療資金。一個名為維龍加國家公園的大型公園正在提供協助。他們建造了特殊的房間來檢查病人。但他們缺乏足夠的袋子或體溫計。
There is also a war in the area. Soldiers and rebels fight. This makes it hard for doctors to help people. Also, the gorillas in the park can get sick, so tourists cannot visit.
該地區還在進行戰爭。士兵與反政府軍在交戰。這使得醫生難以救治病人。此外，公園內的大猩猩也可能染病，因此遊客無法前往參觀。

烏干達關閉了邊境。這對商業不利，因為貨車無法運送食物。其他一些國家，例如阿拉伯聯合大公國，禁止該地區的人員入境。
