Togo / Ensuring cohesion and harmony: President Faure Gnassingbé’s humanitarian objective

In a world where access to healthcare can often be a luxury reserved for some privileged individuals, Togolese President Faure Gnassingbé is fighting to ensure that every citizen, whether Togolese or foreign, can receive necessary medical care in Togo without fearing financial constraints.

The Minister of Public Service has highlighted this humanitarian vision of President Faure Gnassingbé.

According to Minister Gilbert Bawara, the objective of the Head of State is to create a society where cohesion and harmony prevail, where no one should refrain from seeking medical care due to lack of financial means.

This ambitious vision is based on a fundamental principle: the integration of the Togolese population into healthcare coverage systems.

In other words, the current government  of Togo is committed to ensuring that all citizens have access to quality healthcare, regardless of their social status or origin.

However, this noble aspiration does not come without its share of challenges. The implementation of this project will require substantial resources, and the Minister of Public Service emphasizes that it will involve pooling resources and risks, as well as national solidarity.

In-depth considerations will be necessary to design an effective mechanism and appropriate levers to mobilize these resources.

The government, concerned with equity, will also strive to adapt healthcare packages to the different categories of the population, taking into account their specific needs.

Thus, each group of citizens, whether it’s young people, the elderly, informal sector workers, or other categories, will benefit from healthcare tailored to their needs.

President Faure Gnassingbé’s goal is to build a Togolese society where health is a fundamental right, where national solidarity takes precedence over inequalities, and where no one should forgo essential medical care due to financial constraints.

This humanitarian vision reflects the commitment of the Togolese government to the well-being of its population, thereby contributing to strengthening cohesion and harmony within the country.
