doing an excellent job of securing the community and that the populations are able to move around freely and carry out their activities.

Regarding the donation of 100,000 CFA francs given to the CMA of Pô, Assane Gomgnimbou, indicated that it is intended mainly to pay for washing kits for patients suffering from lymphatic filariasis.

The representative of the focal point of the committee, Francis Williams Yaguibou, welcomed the initiative of the Muslim community of the commune.

‘This chain of solidarity towards our brave VDP is a sign that the daughters and sons of the commune are proud of the work of their VDP brothers who abandoned women and children to defend the homeland,’ he added.

For the representative of the District Chief Medical Officer (MCD), Issiaka Daboné, the financial support received by the CMA is timely and will remove a big thorn in the feet of these patients in the province, estimated at around 200 and who do not have the means to pay for washing kits.
