The Minister’s visit to the Centre de Santé de Lalala was a testament to her commitment to assess the progress of health reforms. She expressed satisfaction with ongoing projects, emphasizing the need for sustained commitment and collaboration from all involved parties.
As Gabon progresses with its health reforms, the full adoption of eGabonSIS is seen as a pivotal step towards achieving improved health outcomes for its citizens.
