On March 5, 2014, Knight René Muller, Commander of the Hospitallers of the Order of Saint Gabriel, traveled to the political capital of Côte d’Ivoire, Yamoussoukro, to meet with the leadership of Saint-Joseph Moscati Hospital at the request of the Grand Master of the Order, SEM Roland de Boutechoux de Chavanes, Consul of Côte d’Ivoire in RHÔNE-ALPES.
Responsible for the Mother-Child Project at this institution, he is in charge of developing exchanges between our two institutions.
Saint-Joseph Moscati Hospital is an enclave of the Vatican, located just a few hundred meters from the Basilica of Our Lady of Peace, the largest Catholic religious building in the world, whose appearance is reminiscent of St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome.
The Basilica was inaugurated 20 years ago by Pope John Paul II.
René Muller carried a message from the Grand Master to Father Yvon-Serge HOUNSOU, Director of the Hospital.
He was received by Father Stanyslas Skuza, Rector of the Basilica.
The Mayor of Yamoussoukro, Mr. Jean Kouakou, was also present, having organized this meeting in the presence of numerous national and local journalists.
The Order committed to initially financing €25,000 to cover the hospital equipment needs of the Maternity Department.
A partnership agreement was signed between the Order and Saint-Joseph Hospital, which will cover a period of two years.
