VOICED: Congolese women trapped in hospital

The video highlights the plight of new mothers in Congolese hospitals who are detained due to unpaid medical bills. With caesarean costs being unaffordable for many, these women are unable to leave the hospital. The hospitals, lacking state subsidies and public health insurance, argue that detaining patients is necessary to avoid bankruptcy. This situation affects a significant portion of the population, with many earning less than a dollar a day, and the problem is expected to worsen.
