The country<\/h2><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

C\u00f4te d’Ivoire is a West African country characterized by great geographical and cultural diversity. Its coast extends along the Atlantic Ocean, offering varied landscapes, while the interior is dominated by plains and plateaus. This environmental variety is home to a rich biodiversity. Economically, the country has experienced periods of strong growth thanks to the export of cocoa, but has also faced several crises that have slowed its development. Despite efforts to diversify the economy, agriculture remains a key sector. <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

In 2023, the population of C\u00f4te d’Ivoire was approximately 31,165,654, with a population growth of 2.5%. The population distribution is predominantly rural, with 76% of the population living in rural areas. Life expectancy at birth is approximately 61 years for men and 66 years for women. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>

Politically, C\u00f4te d’Ivoire has gone through a turbulent period, marked by conflict and instability. In recent years, the country has sought to strengthen the rule of law and promote national reconciliation. However, many challenges remain, including the fight against corruption and the strengthening of democratic institutions. <\/span><\/p>\n

C\u00f4te d’Ivoire’s health situation presents significant challenges. Infectious diseases are endemic and access to health services, especially in rural areas, is limited. Despite government efforts, further investment is needed to improve the health situation and achieve the sustainable development goals. <\/span><\/p>\n

In 2022, the neonatal mortality rate in C\u00f4te d’Ivoire was approximately 28 deaths per 1,000 live births. This figure highlights the urgent need to improve neonatal care in the country, where access to quality healthcare is limited and resources are scarce. The Paolo Chiesi Foundation, through the NEST ( Neonatal Essentials for Survival and Thriving<\/i> )<\/a><\/span> project, is working to address these challenges and improve neonatal survival in C\u00f4te d’Ivoire. <\/span><\/p>\n

C\u00f4te d’Ivoire is a developing country that, despite having potential, faces several challenges to ensure a better future for its people.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our intervention<\/h2><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

The Paolo Chiesi Foundation has signed an agreement with CUAMM \u2013 Doctors with Africa<\/a><\/span> to provide quality neonatal care in C\u00f4te d’Ivoire. This will help reduce neonatal mortality and improve the local healthcare system, in line with Goal 3 of the United Nations 2030 Agenda. <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

The project is part of a critical context: 1.6 million newborns die during the first month of life, half of them on the first day. Premature birth, in particular, accounts for 31.6% of neonatal mortality, making it one of the main causes of this phenomenon in the country. The initiative supports national and subnational authorities in C\u00f4te d’Ivoire in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly the reduction of maternal and neonatal mortality. <\/span><\/p>\n

The local partners with which Paolo Chiesi Foundation and CUAMM \u2013 Doctors with Africa collaborate are the<\/span> Formation Sanitaire \u00e0 Base Communautaire of Anonkoua-Kout\u00e9 (FSU-COM)<\/span><\/i> , the<\/span> H\u00f4pital G\u00e9n\u00e9ral Priv\u00e9 Confessionnel Saints Coeurs de Clouetcha (HGPC)<\/span><\/i> , the<\/span> Center Hospitalier R\u00e9gional d’Abobo (CHR)<\/span><\/i> and the<\/span> Program National de Sant\u00e9 de la M\u00e8re et de l’Enfant (PNSME)<\/span><\/i> of the Ministry of Health.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>

The Paolo Chiesi Foundation contributes to the theoretical and practical training of maternity and neonatology workers, focusing on essential care and neonatal resuscitation techniques. The training modules were developed in collaboration with the <\/span>Program National de Sant\u00e9 de la M\u00e8re et de l’Enfant (PNSME)<\/span><\/i> and include simulations and practical exercises. The Foundation provides essential technical-medical equipment such as self-inflation balloons, laryngeal masks, mucus aspirators, laryngoscopes, neonatal pediatric probes, phototherapy devices, neonatal pulse oximeters, neonatal heating mattresses and teaching manikins. <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

The Paolo Chiesi Foundation oversaw the project through the involvement of the Ministry of Health, ensuring that the training modules compliant with national guidelines and that the District Health Directors of the relevant facilities were actively involved.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

The activity plan included a series of preparatory meetings with representatives of the PNSME and the Health Directors of the identified facilities in March 2024, an assessment mission to identify the needs of medical and health personnel and health facilities between May and June, the implementation of the training course for medical and health personnel in September and the delivery of the equipment to the identified health facilities by the end of the year.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
