Hello so I would suggest that you go to the following hospital:
Fondation vie Sante; Centre de Chirurgie et traumatologie
20 Evenque Katembo, Phone: 0814031246; e-mail: info@fondationviesante.org

This is the only place that you can go to get a level of care and facilities that somewhat resemble that of developed nations. I went here I brought my child here [for malaria treatments]. I have to say that they don't treat people of color very well but I don't think that will be an issue for you.

it is very clean and sort of an oasis I have to say. you may find some of their methods a bit questionable but stand up for yourself.

It is the only place you will ever go for medical care in Lubum...Trust me.. You would walk-into and straight out of the other places in under 30 seconds.

The doctors there [head doctors and founders] are Spaniard I believe. The locals refer to this hospital as Delgardo. I guess that is the name of the head doctor/surgeon. It can be expensive you pay cash for everything. If you pay in USD, they do not accept and USD older than 2009.
