Adolphe-Sicé General Hospital: women are committed to change

“Women from the Adolphe-Sicé General Hospital committed to change”, such was the theme of the activity which brought together doctors, nurses, midwives, administrative agents, surface technicians…, all driven by the duty to cultivate and practice the virtues that can contribute to the work of civilization. “The choice of this sub-theme is justified by the eloquent desire of the women in our structure to restore the image and illuminate the image of this hospital with which the population of Pointe-Noire and its surroundings have a very clear and secular relationship” , said Audrey Natacha Ndzota Mabengué, director of nursing, medico-technical and rehabilitation, president of the organizing committee. To achieve such a goal, she added, the women of HGAS look up to Emmeline Pankhurst, the very woman who fought for women’s suffrage in the UK, as a model.

For Lambet Chakirou, general manager of the HGAS, “This day is an opportunity to honor women and girls around the world and particularly those working at the Adolphe-Sicé General Hospital. We pay tribute to their role in the care of patients and the improvement of the quality of care as they constitute a little more than half of the staff of our hospital. Let us remember that a very short time ago women doctors, nurses, midwives, cleaners and other accountants and administrative workers took an important part in the fight against the covid-19 pandemic … This involvement in the well-being of the population sufficiently proves that today’s women are no longer those who wait to be given a seat at the table rather than bringing their own folding chair” .

The morning gave rise to several communications, including “Women and the workplace”, “Innovations and technologies at the service of equality between men and women”, “Patient reception”, “Care quality control at the Adolphe-Sicé general hospital”, “Management of post-caesarean pain”, “Nurse’s place in medical prescription”, “Venous blood sampling: nursing practices”…. Papers that gave rise to exchanges and fruitful and enriching debates.

Note that the 113^e The theme of International Women’s Day is “For an inclusive digital world: innovation and technologies for gender equality”. At the national level, it is celebrated on the theme “ Women, let’s protect ourselves against online violence with the Mouébara law”.
