Our PARTNERS
Medical centers
The main actors of our actions are the following:
UROLOGY
Dr. Regusci is developing medical and scientific collaboration with the Department of Urology of Centre National Hospitalier Universitaire de Cotonou (CNHU). Dr. Regusci is mainly working in close collaboration with Prof. Avakoudjo and his team.
Our foundation has created the "MICHELE BERSET" room for endoscopic consultations. It is equipped with a flexible cystoscope and located in the premises of the Centre Médical Humanitaire Ste Agnès. Thanks to that precious collaboration, all the partners involved can share their experience and know-how during each mission in Benin.
Our Foundation also supports consultations and screening tests graciously performed by Dr. Regusci to poor patients from the Centre Médical Humanitaire Ste Agnès or other local health participants.
