Children Believe offered, on Wednesday, medicines and medical consumables to the health districts of Kaya, Barsalogho, Boulsa and Tougouri worth around twelve million CFA francs.
Worth around twelve million CFA francs for the Center-North region, these drugs (antibiotics) and medical consumables are used in the treatment of diarrhea, malaria and coughs in children, according to the supervisor of zone at Children Believe, Augustin Kaboré.
According to him, the beneficiaries of these health products are the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and the host populations of the Health and Social Promotion Centers (CSPS) of Kalambaogo (Kaya), Pissila, sector 3 of Boulsa, Barsalogho, Pensa and the Tougouri Medical Center (CM).
Therefore, the donor wanted these medical products to be used wisely and above all to reach needy people.
According to Supervisor Kaboré, this donation is part of the implementation of the multi-sectoral and integrated assistance project for communities in the Eastern and Central North regi
ons affected by the humanitarian crisis (PAMSIC) executed by Children Believe in partnership with the Regional Humanitarian Fund for West and Central Africa (FHRAOC).
A gesture duly praised by the administrative authorities. For the head of the handover ceremony, the High Commissioner of Sanmatenga, Idrissa Gamsonré, this batch of medicines will make it possible to increase the provision of care in the beneficiary health districts.
‘In this context of a difficult security and humanitarian crisis, health facilities are ‘heavily’ in demand and this will be a relief for healthcare staff and patients,’ said Mr. Gamsonré. This is why he thanked Children Believe for this mark of generosity while inviting other partners to follow in the donor’s footsteps.
Same story for the Regional Director (DR) in charge of Health in the Center-North, Dr Anicet Poda.
‘These drugs will be used to treat common pathologies. This will strengthen the quality of care, since these products will be given free of charge to patients,’ r
eassured Mr. Poda.
Therefore, he thanked Children Believe for its continued endowment annually.
‘We hope that this partnership will continue so that we can also have other donations in the years to come in order to improve the care of patients,’ hoped Dr. Anicet Poda.
In terms of grievances, he urged his partners to lend them a helping hand in the effective fight against diseases linked to dengue and malaria during the upcoming rainy season through the financing of prevention and treatment activities. charge
