420:. In the DRC, roughly 90% of doctor and hospital patients pay their medical bills out of pocket. For example, if someone was in the hospital for 30 days, they would owe about $ 515 in the DRC. There is a controversial practice that occurs in the medical field, affecting 24% of the world's countries and 15 out of the 54 countries in Africa. This process is hospital detainment, where either a deceased patient is not released because the family cannot pay for their treatment, or a living patient is denied release because they cannot pay their own bill. This means that detention disproportionately affects poorer people who cannot easily afford medical treatment. Also, in order to avoid increasing someone's medical bill and putting them and the hospital into more debt, patients do not receive additional treatment while detained. This can potentially lead to patients' symptoms worsening, as well as possibly affecting other nearby detainees. In the DRC, hospital detention is more common among post-natal women, who are unable to pay for their bills because they are unmarried, have been abandoned by a provider, or experienced nonconsensual impregnation.
375:, DRC. It is a school for deaf people and other children with disabilities, and the deaf children speak to each other in sign language, though it is not certain which sign language that is. Built by the Episcopal Conference of Italy, but not receiving sustainable and operating funds, the school is now funded by the Congolese State, and half of the staff is paid by the State monthly. The children receive literacy education and vocational training, such as sewing, weaving, shoemaking, agriculture, and music, but they also lack some materials, in need of kitchen utensils, more food, and supplies for their blind students.

As of 2018, the organization activated 7 "training centers" around the country that are still running, offering them grants, networking support, and business opportunities.

Kinshasa, called "Inclusive Entrepreneurship for People with Disabilities," on the International Day for People with Disabilities, and trained about 650 disbaled people to be equipped with the tools to become entrepreneurs, also as of 2018.

treatment. This is especially true for deaf people, also because they tend to live in more rural areas, which leads to a less sufficient and personalized education, in turn, leading to less effective communication between medical staff, which may result in incorrect diagnosis. In a 2021 study, deaf people from the Sub-Saharan Africa regions reported unfair treatment by medical staff, including not being treated like a priority, lack of privacy and autonomy, and general disrespect.
128:(WHO) claims that countries in Sub-Saharan Africa are one of the more greatly affected regions by hard-of-hearing complications, compared to the rest of the world. Deaf people in the DRC are subject to neglect and discrimination by their families and the government, but they are also met with small, various ways of support and charity through international, European, Australian, and American religious, non-religious, and governmental organizations.
326:. Some primary and secondary schools in the DRC are deaf-specific, and some schools are for disabled people in general, and deaf people are intermixed within the program. There are 35 schools for the deaf listed on the Gallaudet University website, but it is uncertain whether or not each of the schools are still open.

This could be in order to work for a company or, since employment discrimination is something deaf people often have to face, create their own small business. Congolese law does not allow for discrimination against race, gender, language, or social class. However, in
