Boulgou: The High Council of Delegates of Burkina Faso in Spain donated medical equipment worth more than three million CFA francs to the Zabr© health district. This donation includes two fully equipped electric medical beds and an oxygen gas kit, officially handed over by Tobiz©r© Jean Zanz¨, a member of the High Council of Burkinabe Abroad (HCBE) – Spain section.
According to Burkina Information Agency, Mr. Zanz¨ highlighted a personal tragedy that motivated this act of solidarity. He recounted the loss of a friend’s wife due to a lack of oxygen at the Zabr© CMA, which occurred during her evacuation to the Tenkodogo University Hospital. This incident prompted Mr. Zanz¨ to seek support from his compatriots in Spain and the Honorary Consul of Spain in Burkina Faso to facilitate the donation.
Alain B. Bassono, the prefect and president of the Zabr© special delegation, expressed gratitude for the initiative. He emphasized the importance of health-related contributions and praised Mr. Zanz¨’s consistent generosity. Bassono also called upon others to emulate this example of goodwill.
Souleymane Sawadogo, representing the district’s chief medical officer (CMO), conveyed the medical staff’s appreciation: “We sincerely thank Mr. Zanz¨ for his constant efforts on behalf of the district. May God and the spirits of our ancestors reward him, and may peace return to Burkina Faso.”
The High Council of Burkinab¨ Abroad (HCBE) is the new representative body of Burkinab¨ living abroad, formed after the expiration of the mandates of the Higher Council of Burkinab¨ Abroad (CSBE) in 2021.
