On 14 March 2025, the Minister of Health and Public Hygiene, Professor Tchin Darré, inaugurated the Binaparba Peripheral Care Unit (USP), located in the commune of Bassar 1. This inauguration is a prelude to the transformation of the USP into a Medical-Social Centre, to enable it to provide and improve access to quality care for the population and the surrounding area.

The rehabilitation of the USP in Binaparba required an investment of 93 million FCFA, financed by the State. The funds were used to renovate the care and maternity buildings, build staff accommodation, a health block and an incinerator, and purchase new equipment. This transformation was carried out as part of the SSEQCU project, coordinated by Colonel Professor Bagny.

The Binaparba USP occupies an important place in the history of the health system in the Kara region. It played a major role in the vaccination of women and children in the 70s and 80s, and served as a health centre for remote populations.  The population of Binaparba and the surrounding area is invited to take advantage of this new centre, to participate in its co-management and to keep it clean.  The refurbishment and transformation into a medical and social centre will help to perpetuate this tradition of service and improve access to healthcare for future generations.This project is part of the Togolese government's drive to improve universal health coverage.
