They no longer have to travel 25 km to Papan\u00e9 hospital, a journey that is not without risk, especially for (very) pregnant women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"511\" src=\"https:\/\/hubi-vinciane.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/20250131_1AnOvertureKassouala_2468_orig.jpg\" alt=\"Kassouala\" class=\"wp-image-32844\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hubi-vinciane.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/20250131_1AnOvertureKassouala_2468_orig.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/hubi-vinciane.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/20250131_1AnOvertureKassouala_2468_orig-300x128.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hubi-vinciane.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/20250131_1AnOvertureKassouala_2468_orig-768x327.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The infrastructure has been seriously improved:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>new staff housing,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>an information and vaccination area<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>a solar-powered well and reservoir<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In January 2024, the centre was able to resume its activities.
