HEP recently disclosed that some services would be suspended because of operational difficulties caused by rising insecurity in Plaisance and surrounding areas. “As of early November, only emergency, general and psychiatric consultations, maternity, vaccination, and community health services will remain operational,” stated the hospital in an announcement on Sunday, October 6, 2024.

“Inpatient services for men, women, and children, as well as the sanatorium (respiratory disease) department, will be temporarily suspended. For cases requiring hospitalization, families will need to find alternative healthcare facilities. For referrals, only pregnant women and girls or cases requiring urgent intervention will have access to hospital transportation,” specified HEP.
