Mont Amba District
Mont Amba is one of the four districts that make up the capital city of Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).[1] It includes the communes (municipalities) of Kisenso, Lemba, Limete, Matete and Ngaba.[2] It lies south of the Congo River, east of the downtown district, and is separated from Tshangu District further to the east by the Ndjili River.[3]
Mont Amba is home to several parts of the University of Kinshasa, including the regional center for nuclear research. As of March 2011, the reactor at this center had not been operational for several years.[4] The Mont Alma Hospital in Lemba is a teaching hospital for the university. In June 2011 the first plastic surgery clinic in the DRC was opened at the hospital, primarily for the treatment of children who had been burned.[5]
