Bougnounou:The Workers' Health Office (OST) of Léo has initiated an annual medical check-up campaign for the workers in the Bougnounou commune. The campaign commenced on Monday in the meeting room of the Bougnounou town hall.

According to Burkina Information Agency, the mission is led by Dr. Roger Kiemtoré, who is in charge of the occupational health zone covering the provinces of Sissili and Ziro. The team comprises four specialists who aim to conduct consultations for all municipal workers within the day.
