Produktbeschreibung
The affluent Congolese of Kolwezi in Katanga, who consider medical care in their own country to be unsafe, have no hesitation in seeking treatment abroad, whatever the cost.

Lisette Kalonga, a shopkeeper from Kolwezi who has just been treated in India, explains that "the patients' crisis of confidence in public hospitals" is the main reason why many wealthy Congolese seek treatment abroad.
