Dear Friends,
We remain hard at work and active with our partners at Association Saint-Camille (ASC) in Benin, Togo and Ivory Coast. Here are highlights from the 2023 report from Benin.
By the numbers in 2023 in Benin:
The 4 reception and treatment centers recorded a total of:
Initial consultations (new patients): 4,927
Total number of hospitalized/residential patients: 5,590
Number of follow-up consultations: 88,412
Of these, 105 patients were taken from the street and 288 brought by firefighters and law enforcement, making a total of 393 patients.
4,581 were reintegrated into families (95.66% of discharges)
96 were discharged to reintegration/rehabilitation centers (2.00%)
The 39 relay centers (outpatient/pop-up clinics) are a great service for the population, in the extent that they allow individuals to avoid long journeys and large travel costs, as well as road hazards and accidents.They received 1,771 new patients and carried out 26,45 consultations.
General medical services and rehabilitation services remain active. Full reports are available on request to the USA affiliate Treatment Not Chains (treatmentnotchains.org@gmail.com).
With a variety of services, ASC continues meeting the need with our assistance. These medical, psychiatric, and social/employment recovery services bring dignity to the lives of so many people in West Africa.
