Construction and Rehabilitation of University Hospitals in Kara and Lomé in Togo

In 2021, Togo launched its “Universal Health Coverage” program to ensure access to quality healthcare for as many people as possible. This program includes an infrastructure strengthening component to create primary care units and reinforce the three University Hospital Centers (UHC) and the six Regional Hospital Centers (RHC).

The Challenge

In this context, Ellipse Projects, a European engineering company specializing in the design and implementation of infrastructure projects, has been mobilized by the Togolese authorities to carry out the rehabilitation of two priority sites:

  • UHC Lomé Campus, with a current hospitalization capacity of 197 beds, plans to rehabilitate and re-equip the facility for an increased capacity of 332 beds.
  • UHC Kara, with a current hospitalization capacity of 239 beds, plans to rehabilitate and re-equip the facility for an increased capacity of 345 beds.

These renovations should provide a modern technical platform, increase hospitalization capacity, and optimize spatial organization by rehabilitating buildings and networks and equipping the UHCs with high-performance equipment.

Antea Group in Action

In partnership with Insuco, Antea Group is supporting Ellipse Projects in controlling the environmental and social issues of the project. The project is divided into three phases: 

  • Draw up the associated environmental and social management plans like waste management and biodiversity management plans during the construction and exploitation phase.
  • Environmental and social monitoring -site visits and reporting- during the three years of construction.
  • Environmental and social monitoring -site visits and reporting- during the first year of site operation.
