Ministry of Health (Democratic Republic of the Congo)

The Ministry of Health (MOH) of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) is a public health system based loosely on the historical Belgian colonial public health system. The MOH is largely a policy and oversight organization with operational functions embodied within a number of subordinate MOH organizations, including the Institute of Tropical Medicine (ITM), Institute of Biomedical Research (Institut National de Recherché Biomédicale, or INRB) and the Kinshasa School of Public Health (KSPH). KSPH trains physicians in public health, staffs the public health infrastructure composed of Health Zones, including the Health Zone doctors who provide both public health services and partial staffing of district hospitals.

As of December 2008, the Health Minister in DRC was Augustin Mopipi.
