Today's news is about Saint Peregrin change of name. Remember our video on the Saint Pérégrin Reference Hospital? If not, then the video is still available in the list of our videos, or click on one of the video suggestions at the end of this news to watch it. This hospital that is still under construction for 3 years today, took its name from the Italian religious patron saint for persons suffering from cancer, AIDS, and other life-threatening illnesses, Peregrine Laziosi, who lived from 1260 to 1345. It was therefore called, Saint Pérégrin Reference Hospital since its first brick was laid. And then little by little, this jewel under construction faded from our eyes, confining itself to oblivion. Fortunately, just a month ago, All In Togo put it back firmly in the news in a YouTube video. With more than 30,000 views, the video in French and English versions continues to attract real attention around the world. The world applauds this project never done in Africa before, although some still believe that it is at the inauguration that they will truly believe in it. On the other hand, All In Togo has also received comments and messages castigating the name Saint Pérégrin as a shame, a colonial or anti-African name and suggesting that it should be replaced with something local. Obviously for 3 years that the project has been underway, it is now that many have finally noticed that the name Saint Peregrin sounds problematic. In the end, the name Saint Peregrin is no longer. This demonstrates, the educated and influential quality of our audience and our subscribers acquired to the cause of pushing Togo forward and never back again. To progress, you must always applaud beautiful projects and also make a contribution to move things lagging behind forward. And indeed, the news finally came out. The Saint Pérégrin Hospital changed its name even before its official opening. It is now called. Dog ta Lafi-eh Ingrid Awade, director of the National Social Security Fund (CNSS), who is leading the project, gave this information herself. She explains this decision by the desire of the authorities to "enhance the local languages and facilitate the appropriation by the populations of this jewel under construction". Dog ta, Lafi-eh, means 'Health Hospital' in the local languages Moba and Nawda. This is enough to make the Moba and Nawda peoples proud and also affirm to the whole world that in Togo, there are more than two or three spoken languages. oh no! There are over 40 spoken languages in Togo, a real treasure of cultures and traditions for a very small country of barely 56600 km² of area. Congratulations Madam Director for this great initiative. Certainly, you are wondering when the inauguration of Dog ta Lafi-eh will be. All we know is that this site is still under construction and the official opening is still not known. Here are the latest images from mid-May 2,022. The project includes the construction of an 11,000 m² building and a 7,000 m² hotel for patients or their families. An ecological building with autonomy in water and electricity. The hospital complex will operate by sectors: consultations, general hospitalization and infectious diseases, imaging, functional exploration, maternity etc. with a specialization in outpatient care. The hospital will also offer VIP services with a dedicated wing. The Spanish Group PNHG was entrusted with the construction of the hotel.
