During the May 2026 Ebola outbreak in Bunia, Democratic Republic of Congo, MedSend-supported surgeon Dr. Jacques Ebhele continues serving patients in the middle of crisis.
“This is my country, my town, and my people catching the disease and dying including nurses and doctors.”
Jacques is part of MedSend’s Launch Project, which supports national physicians stepping into long-term missionary service in difficult regions across Africa and Asia.
After years of surgical leadership across Africa, Jacques returned home to the DRC to found Christian Surgical Network and build Mercy Surgical Polyclinic in Bunia.
Even during the outbreak, he remains committed to compassionate care and Gospel witness:
“We will work diligently, making sure that we represent the hands and feet of Jesus, bringing hope and healing to the forgotten.”
Please join us in fervently praying for protection, wisdom, and a medical breakthrough in the ongoing emergency Ebola response in the DRC, Uganda, South Sudan and throughout the surrounding regions.
