Maternal Care Under Strain: Bujumbura’s King Khaled Hospital reports severe pressure in maternity and emergency services after free care was suspended elsewhere, with delays linked to deaths from missed urgent surgery. Refugee Health Risks: At Burundi’s Cishemere transit center, a severe food crisis and limited healthcare are pushing thousands of Congolese asylum seekers into begging, raising disease risk.
