Togo roads crumble, hindering hospital access
Mud and giant potholes plague the Amégnran-Afagnan and Afagnan-Agomé-Glozou routes in Bas-Mono.
Two key roads in Togo's Bas-Mono prefecture, Amégnran-Afagnan and Afagnan-Agomé-Glozou, are in advanced states of disrepair. Mud, giant potholes, and missing asphalt make travel extremely difficult, especially during the rainy season.
The deteriorating condition of these routes significantly impacts local populations and complicates access to the Saint-Jean-de-Dieu hospital in Afagnan. The MMLK group has called on the government for urgent rehabilitation of these roads.
The poor state of the roads hinders the transport of agricultural products from Bas-Mono, causing losses for producers and transporters. Ambulances and other vehicles carrying patients also face severe difficulties reaching the Afagnan hospital.
