Infant hearing screening at Port-Gentil hospital

Overview

Organized by Director General Jonas Mboumba and ENT specialists in partnership with the Edelweiss clinic, the initiative targets infants aged 0 to 6 months.

The campaign aims to detect hearing impairments early to assist with language acquisition and communication development.
