Ambassador de Viviès met Jean-Marc Yacé, Mayor of Cocody, to discuss the support
envisaged by the President of Ordre de Malte France for a dispensary in the Cocody
commune.
The new United Nations coordinator, Madame Hélène N'GARMIN-GANGA, received us with the First Secretary; we discussed UNFPA support for obstetric fistula operations in 2025. The Coordinator should be able to move this project forward.
During his visit to the hospital, Ambassador de Viviès had the opportunity to speak with members of the Club Santé, organized by Business France and comprising most of Côte d'Ivoire's healthcare players. It was an opportunity to present the Sovereign Order of Malta and its many activities in Ivory Coast, notably at St Jean-Baptiste Hospital.
Ambassador de Viviès and the First Secretary, Madam Moreau, visited the Polyclinique Internationale Sainte Anne-Marie (PISAM), run by Mr Eric Djibo. A new partnership is being built with this Abidjan hospital structure, of which the St Jean-Baptiste hospital in Bodo could be an advanced element on the Abidjan-Yamoussoukro axis. There are plans to provide a scanner that would boost St Jean-Baptiste's capacity to treat road accident emergencies.
