In 2023, our teams in northern Côte d’Ivoire responded to the needs of refugees from neighbouring Burkina Faso, driven from their homes by recurrent violence. Some refugees are hosted by local families, but many are living in precarious conditions, with little access to basic services, including healthcare.
We supported both refugee and host communities by offering general healthcare and reproductive health services, particularly in Ouangolodougou district.
We also continued our regular activities in Côte d’Ivoire in 2023, in collaboration with our local partners and the country’s health authorities. In Bouaké, we run a project for people living with mental health disorders and epilepsy, while in Agboville district, we promote access to specialised care, including cardiology, gynaecology, obstetrics and paediatrics, via telemedicine services in 11 health facilities.
