PHASE 1 TIBGA : Maternity

#TousEnsemblePourTibga :

🌍 #TOUSENSEMBLEPOURTIBGA is a campaign of crowdfunding initiated by the inhabitants of the commune of Tibga, located in the east of Burkina Faso, in collaboration with the UNDP Burkina Fasothe architect Francis KéréFootballer Edmond Tapsoba and Terra Invest SA.

🎯 Objective :

Build a maternity to improve health care and to respond to the urgent needs of the population.

 

 

The rural commune of Tibga, located in the province of Gourma in the East of Burkina Faso, is home to 59 000 inhabitants spread over 32 villages. In the throes of a fragile health system, this community is mobilized to build a modern maternity hospital and a laboratory which meets international standards.

Current Challenges :

 

1. Absence of laboratory : The diagnostics require transport of 45 km, delaying care.
2. Maternity inappropriate : 3 beds just for a growing population, the precarious conditions.
3. Maternal health at risk : Frequent complications endanger women and newborns.

A Project in 2 Phases :

Phase 1 : Construction of the maternity modern

Sufficient capacity to meet the needs of the population. Infrastructure eco-friendly using solar power and local materials.

Phase 2 : Implementation of the medical laboratory

On-site Analyses for rapid diagnosis and effective care.
