On 23 March 2020 in Ouaga 2000, the EBOMAF Group handed over to the Burkinabé state a fully equipped care infrastructure and exceptional financial support to respond to the global health emergency.

The 'Princesse Sarah' clinic includes 30 hospitalization beds, rehabilitation and intensive-care rooms, and laboratories for biochemistry, serology, hematology and parasitology. It immediately strengthens reception and treatment capacity for COVID-19 patients. The donation is paired with a 50 million CFA franc check to support initial response measures.

"EBOMAF stands in solidarity with the people," declared Prosper Bassolé, chief of staff for the EBOMAF Group, at the handover ceremony. "This gesture is the EBOMAF Group's contribution to the fight against the Covid-19 virus."

Representing the Ministry of Health, Emmanuel Sorgho welcomed the initiative and called on all goodwill to follow this example of national solidarity.

This intervention illustrates the EBOMAF Foundation's conviction: act fast, where the needs are most critical, without administrative friction — so that communities are never left alone facing emergency.
