Over 700 people in Bagré, Burkina Faso, worked together on Saturday to clean the area around the Bagré-Périmètre CSPS, the future site of a new medical center.

Gérard W. Maré, president of the special delegation of Bagré, called on residents and representatives from local organizations, security forces, and religious groups to participate in the cleanup.

The volunteers cleared both inside and around the current health post and the land designated for the new center, aiming to create a cleaner and healthier environment for future patients. Maré described the event as the largest mobilization of its kind in Bagré, and he announced plans for another cleanup before the center officially opens. Maré also thanked Captain Ibrahim Traoré, the President of Burkina Faso, and everyone involved in making the medical center project possible.

The chief of the CSPS expressed gratitude for the community’s strong civic engagement.
