Un laboratorio móvil instalado en Butembo, en el este de la República Democrática del Congo, está permitiendo acelerar de forma notable el diagnóstico del ébola en la región. El dispositivo ofrece resultados en menos de 24 horas y, en algunos casos, en tan solo seis.
La reducción de los tiempos de análisis supone una mejora significativa frente a los plazos habituales en zonas afectadas por brotes de la enfermedad, donde la rapidez en la detección resulta clave para frenar la propagación del virus y agilizar la atención a los pacientes.
El este de la RD del Congo ha sido escenario de distintos brotes de ébola en los últimos años, lo que ha impulsado el despliegue de herramientas diagnósticas más rápidas y accesibles sobre el terreno.
