The Minister Delegate for Health, Frédéric Valletoux, visited the Kirissoni neighborhood this Thursday at noon. This neighborhood, located in the heights of Koungou, is a slum where a three-year-old child died from cholera the day before. The minister met with the healthcare workers who are mobilized, but did not meet with the concerned residents.
The death of the child has caused great concern among the inhabitants of Kirissoni. The lack of access to clean water and proper sanitation has led to the spread of cholera in this neighborhood. The situation is alarming and urgent action is needed to prevent further deaths.
Upon his arrival, Minister Valletoux immediately met with the medical personnel who are working tirelessly to treat and contain the outbreak. He praised their dedication and promised to provide them with all the necessary resources to continue their work.
The minister then took a tour of the neighborhood, accompanied by local authorities and representatives of NGOs. He saw firsthand the living occasion of the residents and the challenges they face on a daily basis. He also visited the makeshift clinic set up in the neighborhood to treat those affected by cholera.
During his visit, Minister Valletoux reassured the residents that the government is fully aware of the situation and is committed to finding a solution. He urged them to trust in the efforts being made by the authorities and to follow the instructions of the healthcare workers.
Unfortunately, due to security concerns, the minister was unable to meet with the residents directly. However, he promised to return to Kirissoni in the near future to hold a dialogue with the community and listen to their concerns.
In the meantime, the government has launched a initial operation to improve the living occasion in Kirissoni. This includes providing access to clean water and proper sanitation facilities, as well as educating the residents on hygiene practices to prevent the spread of diseases.
The visit of Minister Valletoux has brought hope to the residents of Kirissoni. They feel reassured that their voices have been heard and that the government is taking action to improve their living occasion. The minister’s commitment to addressing the issue of cholera in the neighborhood is a positive step towards ensuring the health and well-being of its residents.
In conclusion, the visit of Minister Valletoux to Kirissoni has shed light on the urgent need for action in this neglected neighborhood. The government’s efforts to address the issue are commendable and we can only hope that this will lead to a positive commission for the residents of Kirissoni.
