The
President of the Republic, Faure Gnassingbé, attaches particular importance to

In

the government to implement a rigorous plan for monitoring, maintaining and
servicing the equipment intended for health facilities, in order to guarantee

Modern
equipment for Togo's hospitals
As
part of projects aimed at improving healthcare provision for users, medical
equipment and furniture have recently been acquired and deployed in 160 health
facilities across all the country's districts, meeting 100% of the needs
expressed. This equipment includes:
7,442 hospital beds, 15 imaging machines, 50 microscopes, 7 medical ambulances,
200 motorbikes, 100 refrigerators, as well as several hundred delivery beds and
mechanical and electrical delivery tables, not forgetting laboratory equipment
and consumables and office equipment.
According
to Pr Tchin Darré, Minister for Health, hospitals that have received new
equipment have transferred their existing equipment, which is still in good
working order, to lower-level health facilities. Around 20 billion CFA francs
have been disbursed for the acquisition of this equipment and material.
