Bouygues Construction Wins Phase 2 of Yopougon University Hospital for €95 Million

A Project Entrusted to the Group's Ivorian Subsidiary

The contract covers the restructuring, rehabilitation and equipping of Yopougon University Hospital Center, in western Abidjan. The works have been divided into two phases. The first, carried out in 2023 by SETAO, enabled the renovation of operating theatres, emergency departments, the intensive care unit and part of the patient rooms. The second phase, which began in July 2026, must complete the hospital's restructuring: additional operating theatres, pharmacy, laboratories, consultation rooms, kitchens and all remaining patient rooms.

€95 Million over 21 Months

This second phase represents an amount of €95 million, over a period of 21 months. The project will take place on an occupied site, which requires strict separation of construction and care workflows. Anticipated handovers are planned for priority installations: medical imaging facilities and patient rooms.

509 Beds and 12 Operating Theatres at Completion

Upon completion, the facility will have a capacity of 509 beds and its technical platform will expand from 6 to 12 operating theatres. It will be equipped with an MRI machine, two scanners and 12 ultrasound machines, in addition to the equipment installed during the first phase. Bouygues Construction had contributed to the construction of Yopougon University Hospital Center, which was inaugurated in 1990. According to Philippe Jouy, Deputy Chief Executive Officer of Bouygues Construction in charge of Bouygues Bâtiment International, this project illustrates "the ability to conduct complex hospital projects, with the level of demand, reliability and quality that these essential infrastructures require".
