Oly Ilunga Kalenga is one of the most popular and richest Physician who was born on June 24, 1960 in Lubumbashi, Democratic Republic of the Congo. Oly Ilunga Kalenga (born 24 June 1960) is a Belgian Congolese medical doctor who served as in the Republic of Congo’s Minister of Health from 2016 until the year the year 2019. He resigned from his position on the 22nd of July, 2019, and was later taken into custody on the 14th of September in connection with allegedly mishandling a portion of the $4.3 million Ebola response funds the government had promised to provide. This is a claim the doctor does not deny.

Ilunga Kalenga began consulting for the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) health ministry in 2000 . He was appointed minister of public health in December. After two-and-a-half years, on 22 July 2019, Kalenga resigned after his mandate was curtailed to only non-Ebola public-health matters, attributing his departure to the Congolese President Felix Tshisekedi’s decision to oversee the DRC’s Ebola response personally, and to his desire to avoid “creating confusion” and to avert the “inevitable…predictable [public] outcry” such a sharing of oversight entailed. Tshisekedi was then able to appoint a team of experts, headed by Jean-Jacques Mutamfum, referred to in The Lancet as Africa’s Ebola hunter, to lead the country’s Ebola response.

He also was as a member of the board of the African Constituency Bureau (2018-20).
