One of the co-op’s biggest achievements has been investing the premium in the construction of its own health center at Gonaté. With a doctor, midwife, and two nurses available to offer a range of treatments and procedures, patients no longer need to travel long distances to a public hospital in order to receive medical attention. They have also bought their own ambulance car to collect patients from their villages in case of emergencies. Both the health center and the ambulance ensure that community members receive timely and quality healthcare that will ensure community memebers live healthy, productive lives. This is complemented by a free health insurance system with affordable medicines available to all members.
