Thanks to the intervention of the NGO Première Urgence Internationale, supported by the Bêkou Fund, Adam’s wife was able to be referred to the district hospital. When the health centre where she had gone was no longer able to provide the required care, her journey to Ndélé Hospital was taken care of by the NGO.
“At around 3am I accompanied my wife who was pregnant and had to give birth. When we arrived at the health centre my wife was directed to the delivery room because she was already in labour. As time went by, there were complications and she was unable to give birth. The officials thought it best to refer my wife because her case was beyond their capacity“.
In this region, only the district hospital has the capacity to provide specialised care and a medical environment that guarantees better sanitation and comprehensive medical care.
The referral is strongly supported by the population as it improves their access to quality care. Adam believes that without this activity “serious health problems would persist in the village”. Since the project began in 2018, more than 6,140 people have benefited from referrals.
