His Excellency, the President of the Republic, Mr. Mohamed Ould Cheikh El Ghazouani, praised the great sacrifices and great efforts made by health teams throughout the national territory in order to provide health care and meet hospital needs.<\/p>\n

Chairing an Iftar banquet in honor of a group of medical staff working in health institutions in the three wilayas of Nouakchott, His Excellency said Tuesday evening at the National Medical Center in Nouakchott that the provision of health services and improving their quality, no matter how expensive they are, remain almost non-existent compared to the importance of citizens’ health and preservation.<\/p>\n

He stressed that health has a fundamental role in development in its various fields, whether at the level of human resources, or at the economic and social levels.<\/p>\n

His Excellency the President of the Republic said that the tragic experience of Covid-19 experienced by the whole world, which our country was able to withstand thanks to the concerted efforts of everyone and the sacrifices of medical staff in general, taught us many lessons, noting in this context the sacrifices of Mauritanian doctors working outside the country who remembered their country during that pandemic and were in contact with the Ministry of Health and medical institutions to help their country in these difficult circumstances.<\/p>\n

He added that all citizens contributed to these sacrifices, whether they were politicians or actors in the financial and business fields, considering that what happened at that time was a gift of solidarity that indicated the maturity of our society, whether it is workers in state departments in general, workers in the private sector or for our communities abroad.<\/p>\n

In this context, His Excellency recalled the difficult conditions experienced by the national medical teams, which were exposed to many dangers with selflessness, with their remembrance of their oath and their adherence to the noble spirit of their honorable profession, which makes their concern for the patient more than their concern for themselves.<\/p>\n

He said that the Covid-19 pandemic has increased the strength of his determination to strengthen and enhance the performance of our health facilities and work to improve health care as a way to build an integrated and comprehensive health system, noting that our country has been able to achieve many achievements in the construction of infrastructure and improving the absorptive capacity of hospital institutions.<\/p>\n

\"\"His Excellency<\/span> pointed<\/span> out that<\/span> the<\/span> capacity<\/span> of hospital<\/span> facilities<\/span> has<\/span> increased<\/span> by<\/span> 560<\/span> beds<\/span>,<\/span> including<\/span> 150<\/span> in<\/span> Atar<\/span> Hospital<\/span>,<\/span> 150<\/span> in<\/span> Selibaby<\/span> Hospital<\/span> and<\/span> 140<\/span> in<\/span> the expansion<\/span> of the<\/span> National<\/span> Hospital<\/span>,<\/span> to<\/span> which<\/span> 240<\/span> beds<\/span> will be<\/span> added<\/span> soon<\/span> with<\/span> the<\/span> completion<\/span> of<\/span> the<\/span> construction<\/span> of the<\/span> hospitals<\/span> of Tidjikja<\/span>, Aioun<\/span> and<\/span> Aleg<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

He added<\/span> that<\/span> the<\/span> necessary<\/span> medical<\/span> devices<\/span> have<\/span> been<\/span> acquired<\/span>, <\/span>high<\/span>–<\/span>quality<\/span> medicines<\/span> have<\/span> been<\/span> provided<\/span>, and their <\/span>transportation<\/span> methods<\/span> have<\/span> been improved <\/span>by<\/span> strengthening<\/span> the<\/span> emergency<\/span> medical<\/span> transport<\/span> system<\/span>,<\/span> which<\/span> has<\/span> moved<\/span> from<\/span> about<\/span> 70<\/span> cars<\/span> in<\/span> 2019<\/span> to<\/span> 270<\/span> currently<\/span>,<\/span> to<\/span> which<\/span> 92<\/span> cars<\/span> will<\/span> be<\/span> added <\/span>this<\/span> year<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

His Excellency the President of the Republic pointed out that among the important achievements in the health sector is facilitating the access of lowest-income citizens to health services by expanding health insurance in a very important way, which enabled the addition of hundreds of thousands of citizens, the majority of whom are the most needy citizens, in addition to the adoption of a law that allows parents, widows and people with special needs to access health insurance, all of which falls within the framework of the government’s efforts to universalize health insurance in 2030.<\/p>\n

His Excellency<\/span> the<\/span> President<\/span> of<\/span> the<\/span> Republic<\/span> added<\/span> that<\/span> these<\/span> achievements<\/span> also<\/span> include<\/span> the<\/span> provision<\/span> of<\/span> free<\/span> reservation<\/span> in<\/span> resuscitation<\/span> and<\/span> medical<\/span> transport<\/span> and<\/span> the arbitrary<\/span> cost<\/span> of<\/span> pregnant<\/span> women<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

He explained<\/span> that<\/span> the<\/span> acquisition<\/span> of advanced<\/span> devices<\/span> and<\/span> equipment<\/span> must<\/span> be<\/span> accompanied by<\/span> qualified<\/span> human<\/span> resources<\/span> with<\/span> high<\/span> efficiency<\/span> and<\/span> good<\/span> working<\/span> conditions<\/span>,<\/span> noting<\/span> in<\/span> this<\/span> regard<\/span> that<\/span> more<\/span> than<\/span> 2<\/span>,<\/span>920<\/span> individuals<\/span> from<\/span> various<\/span> levels<\/span> have<\/span> been<\/span> subscribed<\/span>,<\/span> representing<\/span> 25<\/span>%<\/span> of<\/span> the<\/span> total<\/span> health<\/span> sector<\/span> workers<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

He added<\/span> that<\/span> in<\/span> this<\/span> context<\/span>,<\/span> and<\/span> in<\/span> order <\/span>to<\/span> make<\/span> conditions<\/span> for<\/span> health<\/span> workers<\/span> better<\/span>,<\/span> their<\/span> wages<\/span> were<\/span> doubled<\/span> by<\/span> an<\/span> exceptional<\/span> special<\/span> measure<\/span>,<\/span> in<\/span> addition<\/span> to<\/span> benefiting<\/span> from<\/span> all<\/span> the<\/span> increases<\/span> announced<\/span> in<\/span> favor<\/span> of<\/span> employees<\/span> and<\/span> state<\/span> agents<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

His Excellency<\/span> the<\/span> President<\/span> of<\/span> the<\/span> Republic<\/span> said<\/span> that<\/span> he<\/span> is <\/span>well<\/span> aware<\/span> of<\/span> the <\/span>urgent<\/span> need<\/span> to <\/span>achieve<\/span> more<\/span> in<\/span> these<\/span> various<\/span> fields<\/span>,<\/span> whether<\/span> it<\/span> is<\/span> related<\/span> to <\/span>working<\/span> conditions<\/span> or<\/span> the <\/span>living<\/span> conditions<\/span> of<\/span> individuals<\/span> responsible<\/span> for<\/span> the<\/span> health<\/span> of<\/span> citizens<\/span> of<\/span> various<\/span> levels<\/span>,<\/span> stressing<\/span> his<\/span> determination<\/span> to<\/span> double<\/span> the<\/span> work<\/span> in<\/span> order<\/span> to<\/span> overcome<\/span> all<\/span> these<\/span> obstacles<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n
