Mouhoun: The women of the commune of Safane commemorated International Women's Day on Sunday, March 8, 2026, with a civic action in favor of public health, through a sanitation operation organized at the local medical center. During this celebration, the participants carried out a large-scale cleanup activity within the medical center, thus contributing to the improvement of the sanitary environment of the establishment.
According to Burkina Information Agency, this initiative benefited from the support of midwives from the various Health and Social Promotion Centers (CSPS) in the municipality, as well as nurses, all mobilized to support this community approach. Following the cleanup operation, the women gathered in the conference room of the Safane town hall for an awareness session dedicated to women's health. The meeting was held in the presence of the President of the special delegation (PDS) of the commune of Safane, Ali Traore, accompanied by the second vice-president, Moumouni Doro.
The communication was facilitated by Mamata Sawadogo, supported by her colleagues from the various primary healthcare centers (CSPS) in the commune. The discussions covered several topics related to women's health, generating considerable interest among the participants who praised the relevance of the information shared. The PDS expressed its gratitude to the women of the commune for their strong sense of responsibility and their commitment to the collective well-being.
According to Ali Traore, this commemoration has been redesigned to give International Women's Day more useful and concrete content, putting it more at the service of women's empowerment and well-being. The municipal authority particularly congratulated the participants for dedicating this symbolic day to cleaning the medical center, a gesture which it described as exemplary. He also praised the availability of midwives from various health centers to raise awareness among women on issues related to their health.
For Mr. Traore, this type of initiative helps to strengthen the relationship between health workers and the population, while promoting better access to health information. The PDS of Safane finally expressed the wish that such actions would multiply in the commune, believing that they fit fully into the dynamic of promoting women advocated by the highest authorities of the country.
