A few months before the Games of La Francophonie 2023, Kinshasa is preparing by acquiring 16 type A ambulances to provide medical care for athletes. These ambulances are intended for simple medical cases, while more severe cases will be handled by Type B ambulances. Type C and D ambulances will also be available for critical situations and multiple transport of patients. Although these measures meet the requirements of the organization of La Francophonie, concerns remain about the safety and health of participants, with some delegations having already announced their withdrawal or reduction of participation. It is therefore essential to ensure optimal conditions for all athletes in order to guarantee their well-being and safety. The arrival of these ambulances bears witness to the DRC’s commitment, but the success of the Games will depend on the confidence and security offered to French-speaking sportspeople throughout the world.
