The governor of Zinder region, Colonel Massalatchi Mahaman Sani, has presided over the provisional reception of several new Integrated Health Centers (CSI) in the departments of Kantche, Tanout, Dugass, and Magaria.

The reception was attended by administrative and customary authorities.
The new health centers are a response to the needs of the population in terms of access to proximity care.

The mission evaluated the state of healthcare infrastructure and identified areas for improvement. The new centers will help to improve healthcare services and bring them closer to the population.
The reception of the new health centers is a significant step in strengthening healthcare services in the region. The centers were inspected in June 2026 by a regional committee led by Colonel Massalatchi Mahaman Sani.

The new centers will help to improve healthcare services and reduce the distance that people have to travel to access medical care.
