Mes Sincères Condoléances
J’ai rencontré la Dre Marie-France Shogogo lors de ma visite à #Beni. Jeune médecin, elle avait choisi de consacrer sa vie à sauver celle des autres. Hier, nous l’avons perdue à cause d’Ebola.
C’est profondément douloureux et révoltant de continuer à perdre de jeunes professionnels de santé qui risquent leur vie pour sauver celle des autres.

Que son âme repose en paix.
