Haier Biomedical Supplies Full Medical Equipment Suite for Burkina Faso Hospital

A China-aided hospital project in Bobo-Dioulasso, Burkina Faso, has recently been officially completed and inaugurated. The opening ceremony was attended by Burkina Faso President Ibrahim Traoré, Prime Minister Alkassoum Maïmouna Ouedraogo, and Minister of Health Kargougou. Chinese Ambassador to Burkina Faso Zhao Deyong and Embassy Counselor Xi Wei were also present.

Speaking at the ceremony, Ambassador Zhao described the project as a flagship initiative following the restoration of diplomatic relations between China and Burkina Faso. He said the hospital serves as a commemorative gift from the Chinese people to mark Burkina Faso’s 65th National Day and the 2026 New Year, and as a symbol of bilateral friendship. Once operational, the facility is expected to significantly enhance public health service capacity, support the training of local medical professionals, and benefit communities across Burkina Faso and neighboring countries, jointly contributing to the building of a new-era China–Africa community with a shared future.

As the medical equipment supplier for the project, Haier Biomedical delivered a complete, hospital-wide equipment solution encompassing 133 major equipment categories and totaling 2,188 units and systems, providing robust support for local health initiatives and healthcare development. The hospital houses departments including internal medicine, surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, emergency care, laboratory services, imaging, and operating theatres, making it among the most modern hospitals on the African continent.

Bobo-Dioulasso—Burkina Faso’s second-largest city and an economic, cultural, and transportation hub in the western region—is a catchment area of several million people. Prior to the project, local healthcare infrastructure was limited, with insufficient diagnostic and treatment capacity to meet growing local demand for quality medical services.

To address these gaps, the Chinese government launched the Bobo-Dioulasso Hospital project, which spans a total floor area of 42,000 square meters and provides 500 beds. The facility integrates outpatient, emergency, medical technology, and inpatient services and is set to become a central pillar of Burkina Faso’s national healthcare system. It will also become a core hub for Burkina Faso's healthcare service system.

As a Chinese enterprise with a strong global footprint in the medical sector, Haier Biomedical drew on its advanced technological capabilities, extensive experience in international healthcare projects, and deep understanding of local African medical needs to deliver a complete, hospital-wide equipment solution.

A Haier Biomedical representative said the company’s participation in the China-aided hospital project in Burkina Faso reflects its commitment to the mission of expanding access to healthcare technology and advancing its “One Country, One Policy” localization strategy. Supported by a global service network covering over 160 countries and regions, Haier Biomedical not only completed the delivery of all equipment but also deployed a specialized technical team to provide subsequent value-added services for the hospital, such as operational training and maintenance support, ensuring long-term and stable equipment performance and extending its contribution beyond exporting product to broader healthcare ecosystem co-construction. The company has already established a strong cooperative foundation with Burkina Faso’s healthcare sector, having previously earned recognition from local health authorities through collaborative initiatives such as Vaccine Network Solution. The supply of this complete, hospital-wide equipment package further deepens bilateral cooperation in the partnership.

The completion and commissioning of the Bobo-Dioulasso hospital represent a landmark in Burkina Faso, made possible through selfless Chinese state support and the technical contribution of Chinese enterprises. Through the delivery of a comprehensive suite of intelligent medical equipment, Haier Biomedical has aligned China’s advanced intelligent manufacturing capabilities with local healthcare needs, strengthening the foundation of bilateral healthcare cooperation and contributing to building a global community of health for all. As the hospital enters full operation, the deployed medical equipment is expected to continue to play a role in supporting the development of Burkina Faso's healthcare system, delivering long-term benefits to public health services.
