Access to Quality Healthcare: The Specialized OOAS Institution Settles at VITIB in Bassam

On October 8, 2026, Ivory Coast hosted the provisional headquarters of the West African Health Organization (WAHO) at VITIB in Bassam. The permanent headquarters, covering about 3,000 m² and capable of hosting 260 to 300 staff, is expected to be ready in approximately seven months. This move signifies a key step in transferring the organization from ECOWAS to Ivory Coast, enhancing regional health cooperation.
