China and Burkina Faso are working hand in hand to build a brighter future. At least, that is the case with their collaboration on a teaching hospital on the outskirts of Bobo Dioulasso. The hospital, set to open in 2025, would be West Africa’s largest.

Karim Démé, president of the Focal Point of the People’s Republic of China in Burkina Faso, initially proposed the project and contacted Chinese authorities to develop the idea. Chinese doctors will train Burkinabé physicians for the first three years, after which the Burkinabé people will run the hospital by 2028.

As of 2020, Burkina Faso had 0.2 hospital beds per 1,000 people compared to the global average of 3.3 beds per 1,000 people.
