“The service operates 24 hours a day and the agents who work there have been trained with the support of partners. We put a group of three teams working in rotation. We don’t let any suspect go through the door ”, argued Dr Kaba Keita, director of the regional hospital.
Systematic hand washing, temperature measurement and compulsory wearing of masks are measures to which every citizen is subjected before entering the hospital grounds.
