Togo / Maternal health: The Wezou programme, a success under the leadership of President Faure Gnassingbé

Under the leadership of President Faure Gnassingbé, Togo has made remarkable progress in enhancing healthcare for pregnant women and newborns. The national program dedicated to supporting these groups, known as Wezou, has shown particularly promising results since its inception.

 

According to recent statements by Prime Minister Victoire Tomégah-Dogbé, approximately 575,000 women have benefited from the Wezou program over the past three years—nearly doubling the previous outreach of 290,000 women.

 

This initiative, backed by substantial government investment amounting to several billion FCFA, has not only improved healthcare access for women and infants but has also made a significant impact on maternal and child health nationwide.

 

These achievements underscore President Faure Gnassingbé’s deep commitment to enhancing the living conditions of Togolese citizens through effective and accessible health policies.

 

The Wezou program stands as a tangible example of the government’s dedication to prioritizing public health under President Faure Gnassingbé’s leadership.

 

Looking ahead, the government plans to sustain and expand this initiative to meet the growing needs of the population and achieve ambitious health goals.

 

President Faure Gnassingbé’s ongoing efforts to support the health of women and newborns reflect his unwavering commitment to the well-being of his people.

 

The positive momentum created by the Wezou program is set to further enhance healthcare quality in Togo, demonstrating the executive’s determination to make health a national priority.
