Ivory Coast: Gynecologists and Obstetricians Denounce Concerning Working Conditions

The National Union of Gynecologists and Obstetricians of Ivory Coast (SYNAGOCI) held its general assembly on April 25, 2026, where Dr. Doh Pierre criticized the difficult working conditions and insufficient remuneration. He highlighted the inconsistency in the current system, where the specialty bonus disappears upon retirement, undermining the recognition of specialists. Gynecologists and obstetricians face significant pressure due to a lack of equipment and high workloads, while calling for a reform of the salary scale and better collaboration with the government.
