Provincial Hôpital de MaoFacility

The largest health facility in this Kanem province is the Mao Provincial Hospital, which operates with a very limited number of insufficient staff and work equipment. This hospital operates thanks to the support of a few indigenous volunteers and those from elsewhere. 506,000 is the number of people who benefit from the services of the hospital but the challenge remains great: the total absence of blood bags in the blood bank, lack of resources, not to mention the weight of tradition that does not facilitate field work. With its 68 beds and pharmacy, Mao's hospital lives to the rhythm of emergencies. It is the only infrastructure to handle complicated obstetric cases in Kanem
