On September 28, 2026, Guinea Solidarity, a non-governmental organization (NGO), donated medical equipment to the Boke Regional Hospital in Guinea. The donation, part of a decentralization cooperation effort, included five hospitalization beds, five mattresses, two stools, and one dental chair with accessories. The handover ceremony took place at the hospital's general direction. This initiative aims to support the Guinean government's efforts to improve the healthcare system in the country.

Souleymane Diakhaby, a native of Katoumba, stated that the donation is intended to complement the government's efforts to enhance healthcare services in Guinea's medical facilities and promote local development. Ibrahima Sorel Keita, a member of the Guinean diaspora in Europe, expressed his community's commitment to improving living conditions for the local population. He encouraged local administrative authorities to get involved in the initiative.

Dr. Sekou Naba Camara, Director General of Boke Regional Hospital, welcomed the donation, noting that it will help alleviate some of the hospital's constraints, particularly the shortage of beds in the Pediatrics department. The hospital's staff expressed satisfaction with the quality of the equipment. Aboubacar M'Bopp Camara praised the decentralization cooperation, which he believes is based on social solidarity, allowing every Guinean to contribute to their country's development.

Sekouba Traore, Secretary General of Boke Prefecture, received the donation on behalf of the local authorities. He expressed gratitude to the donors, acknowledging the hospital's needs, given the area's demographic growth and urbanization. Traore invited other partners and individuals to follow the example of Guinea Solidarity, whose contributions have positively impacted the Guinean population.
