Kara CHU launches 2026-2030 development plan

(Togo First) - Kara University Hospital Center (CHU Kara) on Tuesday, Feb. 3, 2026, began work on its hospital development plan for the 2026-2030 period. The initiative aims to clarify the hospital’s strategic direction and modernize its infrastructure to better meet current healthcare system needs.

The process was launched with a training session aimed at ensuring stakeholder ownership of the project. The plan seeks to coordinate activities, streamline internal organization, and improve the quality of patient care, in line with national health policy and the government’s objective of providing accessible, high-quality healthcare.

Priority areas

The project will focus on several priority areas, including strengthening internal organization and improving the management of human, financial, and logistical resources. It also aims to upgrade medical services. Ultimately, the goal is to provide the Kara CHU with a clear strategic framework to guide its development and sustainably improve the quality of health services in the region.

“This project marks a decisive step toward improving the quality of care at the Kara CHU and, more broadly, across the region,” said the hospital’s director, Worou Kassétinin.

Backed by the government, the hospital development plan is part of a nationwide effort to modernize health facilities. The initiative seeks to strengthen hospital governance, organizational efficiency, and the quality of health services nationwide. In Lomé, the CHU Campus has been engaged in a similar process since October 2025.
