Silly: Public and private sector employees in Silly have resumed their annual medical check-ups after a hiatus of more than five years. Organized at the newly established Health and Social Promotion Center (CSPS), the initiative aims to evaluate the physical fitness of employees for their respective roles across various sectors.

According to Burkina Information Agency, workers from the education, security, healthcare, agriculture, and forestry sectors participated actively in the medical examination. The event was overseen by a multidisciplinary medical team from Leo, providing necessary consultations and examinations. Christophe Bonkoungou, the President of the Special Delegation (PDS) of Silly, attended the event to fulfill his public health responsibilities and to support his constituents. He expressed gratitude to all those involved, stating, "I thank all those involved who spared no effort to make this visit possible today, after a five-year hiatus."

Dr. Kiemtore, a member of the coordination team, highlighted the professional aspect of the event, stating that the main goal is to certify each employee's fitness for their duties. "This assessment allows us, in the event of a finding of unfitness, to propose reassignments to positions better suited to the employee's health," he explained. The previous interruption was attributed to security issues and access challenges.

Ger´me Ouedraogo, head of the Silly Health and Social Promotion Center (CSPS), described the day as historic, as it marked his first time organizing such an event since taking office. He urged workers to incorporate regular medical checkups into their routines, beyond the annual schedule.

Beneficiaries expressed satisfaction with the initiative. Ms. Zongo/Ouedraogo Kaguetou, a teacher at the Silly public primary school, remarked that the initiative "comes at just the right time," acknowledging that staff have been negligent in maintaining regular medical follow-ups. "We are sometimes too lazy to schedule monthly or quarterly visits. This is an opportunity to take stock," she noted.

Participants unanimously expressed a desire for the activity to become a permanent fixture, ensuring the well-being of the human capital in Silly.
