Mr. Jean-Marc Yacé, Mayor of Cocody, received the Viviès ambassador to discuss the possibility of supporting a dispensary, following the visit of the President of the Ordre de Malte France in December 2023 ; a visit to the area enabled the new infrastructure to be visualized.
The visit to Madame Logboh Myss Belmonde Dogo was the first for Ambassador de Viviès. She was given a presentation of the Ordre de Malte and its activities in Côte d'Ivoire, and may come to Bodo as part of the next obstetric fistula treatment campaign.
Dr Liagui A OUATTARA received the Ambassador and Director of Hôpital St Jean-Baptiste to discuss the continuation of the obstetric fistula treatment program, which is due to end in 2024. The partnership between St Jean-Baptiste Hospital and UNFPA is working well, but the future should enable UNFPA to identify new financial partners, and the Hospital to define a complementary strategy.
Ambassador de Viviès took part, along with the First Secretary, the Hospital Director and his External Relations Manager, in an evening event organized by the European Chamber of Commerce, chaired by Dr DELMOTTE, in the presence of Minister Sidi TOURE, in charge of animal and fisheries resources; the follow-up to an ongoing project concerning corporate CSR was presented, and a meeting was possible with potential players for a partnership with the Hospital.
