Expansion of the Allada-Toffo-Zè regional hospital: a major burns unit soon to be operational
Benjamin Hounkpatin, Ministre de la Santé du Bénin, @: Presidence de la République du Bénin
The Council of Ministers approved contracting with a specialized firm to carry out the work needed to modernize the facility.
This expansion aims to increase capacity from 65 to 150 beds and to equip the hospital with two new major departments, one for major burn patients and the other for trauma care.
This initiative responds to the rise in serious road accidents and the need for a care unit that meets international standards.
The expansion of the Glo-Djigbé industrial zone, which attracts many residents and workers, is also increasing demand for health services.
The expansion of the Allada-Toffo-Zè hospital therefore appears to be a strategic response to the region’s demographic and economic growth.
