Expanding Côte d’Ivoire’s Health Sector in the midst of Global Pandemic
ICIEC has provided EUR 143 million cover for a Deutsche Bank investment in Côte d’Ivoire. Two new hospitals with a collective capacity of 400 beds will be built in the south-eastern towns of Adzope and Aboisso, bringing state of the art equipment and facilities to this underserved region. The two hospitals will employ around 600 local people and foster the development of a micro-economy in the areas surrounding them. Additionally, the project will finance five new medical units in existing hospitals across the country. The project EPC will be conducted by a Moroccan contractor, supporting the export of services from another ICIEC member country and facilitating intra-OIC trade of services and human capital between Cote d’Ivoire and Morocco.
