Ouagadougou: As part of the activities of the second edition of the National Days of Patriotic Commitment and Citizen Participation (JEPPC), the constituted bodies of the province of Passor© organized a sanitation day on Saturday, April 5, 2025, at the Medical Center with Surgical Antenna (CMA) of Yako to clean up the premises of the health structure.

According to Burkina Information Agency, the aim of this civic activity was to clean up the premises of the Yako CMA. It saw the mobilization of provincial, military, and paramilitary authorities, as well as municipal, customary, religious, and community organizations in the Yako health district. Equipped with shovels, wheelbarrows, rakes, and other collection equipment, the participants successfully cleared the Yako CMA of rubbish.

Following the sanitation effort, participants engaged in a blood donation operation to support the CMA (Medical Center for the Advancement of the Maternal and Child Health) with this vital resource to aid the sick. Dr. Ouss©ni Sawadogo, the District Chief Medical Officer (MCD) of Yako, expressed appreciation for the mobilization and success of the operation. He extended gratitude to stakeholders, particularly the High Commissioner of Passor© Province, Daouda Sangar©, for selecting his health facility for this initiative.

Dr. Sawadogo emphasized that the collected blood bags would be crucial in saving lives and replenishing blood banks in local health facilities, particularly amid high demand for blood. The provincial head of state commended those who mobilized for the cause and underscored that the sanitation and blood donation operation would help the population grasp the theme "For order and discipline, I commit myself."

Mr. Sangar© also called upon the healthcare staff of the Yako CMA to set an example in maintaining cleanliness and sanitation in their workplace. It should be noted that during the activities of the second edition of JEPPC 2025, a ceremony for raising the colors will take place at the Provincial Directorate in charge of the Environment of Passor©.
