General councillor shows signs of recovery

Three months after his stroke, which initially paralysed the right side of his body, Brother Eugène Kabanguka is showing good signs of recovery.

Following the general councillor’s incident on June 15, he was initially taken to San Camillo Hospital in Rome and on June 23 he was transferred to a private clinic, Villa Sandra, to begin a rehabilitation process. 

He was then transferred to the Rome American Hospital on Aug. 30, where he is expected to stay for at least a month, depending on the speed of his ongoing recovery and the advice of medical doctors.

Thanks to his daily therapy, Br Eugène is now beginning to move his right foot and eat without help using his left hand. He can also beginning to move his right shoulder and arm.

At the request of the Superior General, Br Spiridion Ndanga, from Rwanda, came to Rome in July and continues to monitor closely the recovery of Br Eugène.

Br Eugène is living through this very difficult moment with his accustomed serenity, positivity and patience. The Institute continues to entrust Br Eugène to the tender care of our Good Mother.
