Free treatment campaign for the sick organized by FEDEC in partnership with the ASCOVIME organization

Improving access to healthcare for indigenous populations is the main objective of the health component of the Plan for Vulnerable Indigenous Peoples (PPAV). To achieve this goal, FEDEC collaborates with health institutions and organizes advanced strategy missions in the project areas. It is within this framework that the Foundation, in partnership with the ASCOVIME association, organized a free treatment campaign for the sick in Bipindi.
The campaign was held on July 22, 2021 at the Bipindi District Medical Center with the main objective of providing free healthcare to the people around the Bipindi area.
During this campaign, nearly 600 people received care, including 120 Bakola/Bagyeli and nearly 480 Bantus. 15 pregnant women received kits (baby clothes, cleansing milks, soaps, shampoos, shower gels, etc.). 25 people underwent hernia and cyst surgery. 220 people suffering from eye pain were treated, including about 100 who received medical glasses. Another 268 people suffering from various illnesses such as toothache, malaria, headaches, stomachache, body pain, backache, diarrhea, skin problems, etc. were all treated.
