- Vaccination Campaign: The government aims to achieve a 95% vaccination monitoring rate and 90% completion of vaccination doses for children. The Minister reported that recent efforts have led to a reduction in measles cases and a weekly monitoring system has been established to track the epidemic.

He mentioned the establishment of territorial health groups to improve regional health management and services, alongside plans to build new hospitals and rehabilitate existing health centers.
