were taken care of by the social welfare department to the tune of 10.796 426 CFA
francs, or 4% of the grant provided for this department in respect social cases,
especially dialysis. This situation weighs on the budget of the CHU SO and
specifically on the capacity of the social welfare department to provide assistance for
other important social cases.
In order to improve hospitalisation conditions of patients and work at the Cabanon,
there is the critical need for:
- The centre to be re-arranged with extension of wards for hospitalisation, with
provision for a specific ward for women;
- The centre to be equipped with hospital beds to avoid a situation where inpatients sleep on the ground in treatment rooms;
- The healthcare personnel to be specifically posted to the Cabanon, looking at
the growing number of hospitalisations;
- A special fund to be established for social werlfare for financial assistance
towards social cases (sick detainees);
- The health and prisons administrations must define the maximum time limit for
hospitalisation of detainees to ensure rotation in the use of hospital beds at the
Cabanon.
- The prisons administration to provide supporting measures for healthcare
services to sick detainees evacuated to the CHU. SO.
