WEZOU: Nearly a billion CFA spent so far to support 160,000 pregnant women

(Togo First) - Launched in August 2021, WEZOU, a State program that supports pregnant women and newborns in Togo has already drawn over CFA950 million from the government. According to data recently published by the ministry responsible for universal access to healthcare, the program now covers 680 health centers across the country.

The CFA950 million it mobilized so far was used to enroll more than 160,000 women, support around 70,000 deliveries, and over different services.

WEZOU, Togolese authorities explained, aims to reduce maternal and neonatal mortality rates, in line with the ambition to improve social inclusion and modernize the State, in line with the government's roadmap. Lomé allocated CFA3 billion to the program for its first year of implementation.
