In remote areas, access to healthcare remains a very real challenge for local communities. In Chad, the resurgence of malaria highlights how essential it is to support local healthcare facilities. It is in this context that CIS Chad, a subsidiary of CIS Group in Chad, donated medicines to a local clinic. Beyond emergency support, this initiative reflects a strong conviction shared across CIS Group: whenever possible, contributing to the support of local communities in the countries where the Group operates.

Meeting an immediate healthcare need

As part of its corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities, CIS Chad, in the presence of its client’s representative, donated anti-malarial medicines as well as medical supplies to the Komé Ndolebé clinic.

This action comes at a particularly sensitive time, marked by an increase in malaria cases. Malaria remains one of the leading causes of medical consultation and hospitalization in many parts of sub-Saharan Africa, with a stronger impact on children, pregnant women, and the elderly. According to the World Health Organization, malaria remains a major public health issue on the African continent, which accounts for the vast majority of global cases. Supporting this clinic helps ensure continuity of care for people living in an area where healthcare infrastructure is essential, yet often under pressure.

Komé Ndolebé: a key healthcare facility

The impact of this donation is significant. Every delivery of treatment, equipment, or medical supplies can make an immediate difference in patient care.

Why this type of donation matters

In a local healthcare facility, needs often focus on simple but essential items:
– anti-malarial medicines;
– medical consumables;
– first-response equipment;
– products used in routine consultations.

When these resources are lacking, the clinic’s ability to treat patients quickly is reduced. In the case of malaria, rapid treatment remains an important factor in limiting complications.

Responsible management of the donated supplies

The health center’s managers, together with local community leaders, welcomed this initiative. They also reaffirmed their commitment to ensuring transparent management of the donated products in order to maintain continuity of care for the most vulnerable populations.

What does groupe cis do for local communities?

For companies operating in remote environments such as CIS Group, responsibility is reflected in practical actions adapted to local realities: access to water, support for education, food security, community health, and more.

Since its creation, CIS Group has been active across all its countries of operation and supports local communities. This on-the-ground presence makes it possible to identify practical and meaningful actions tailored to the specific realities of each country. From its headquarters in Marseille as well as through its subsidiaries, the Group carries out a range of support initiatives for the benefit of local communities. These actions can take different forms:
– school supplies to support children’s education;
– food donations for vulnerable populations;
– medicines and healthcare products;
– occasional material support depending on locally identified needs; and more.

This approach has been driven by our President and Founder, Régis Arnoux, who has always believed that wherever the company operates, and whatever the level of difficulty, if the company is in a position to act and help people — adults or children — then it has a duty to do so.
