Abstract
The Red Cross medical teams in the Congo, which now include more than 35 doctors, are continuing their work courageously in conditions which are sometimes difficult. Several of the teams are working in remote areas and are almost cut off from the outside world. Nevertheless, in most cases, the ICRC Delegation is able to send them the equipment and medicaments they need, should other means of transport be lacking, by chartering private aircraft. A donation of the British Red Cross made it possible to purchase and dispatch a quantity of medicaments of which the teams were in need
