Burkina seeks to improve the care of its wounded fighters
Ouagadougou, March 13, 2024 (Africa Links 24) – The Ministry of Defense has brought together experts and technicians from various fields of expertise to make proposals to improve the care of wounded fighters in operations as efficiently as possible.
The meeting, which will conclude tomorrow, Wednesday, in Ouagadougou, has brought together healthcare professionals, researchers, political-administrative decision-makers, resource persons, and wounded soldiers to come up with proposals for holistic care, including reintegration, for cases of soldiers injured in operations.
“These exchanges, which are of paramount importance, will examine the holistic care of the wounded and lead to concrete proposals to efficiently address the difficulties identified in the short, medium, and long term,” detailed the General Staff of the Burkinabe armed forces.
“The injured in operations, these heroes who sacrificed themselves on the battlefield, deserve all our attention,” said the Minister of State, Minister of Defense and Veterans Affairs, Brigadier General Kassoum Coulibaly, at the opening ceremony of the conference on the issue.
Since 2016, Burkina Faso has been engaged in the fight against terrorist attacks that indiscriminately target civilian populations as well as defense and security forces.
Numerous government initiatives and associations have provided concrete responses to the care of injured soldiers or their families. This meeting will take into account several other aspects of this care and the integration of the disabled.
