Behind every treatment, every form of support, and every decision made on a daily basis, there are women who carry out their work with professionalism, determination, and humanity.<\/p>\n\n  <p>On this occasion, AMS and Medical SOS wished to shine a light on three women with different yet complementary journeys, who each contribute, in their own way, every day to the mission of care and service carried by our teams.<\/p>\n\n  <div style=\"height: 30px;\"><\/div>\n\n  <h3 style=\"color: #f87b83;\">A\u00efcha Cherif Haidara, a committed energy serving the organization<\/h3>\n\n  <div style=\"display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; gap: 30px; align-items: flex-start; margin-bottom: 20px;\">\n    <div style=\"flex: 1 1 320px; min-width: 280px;\">\n      <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/santeams.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/aicha.jpeg\" alt=\"A\u00efcha Cherif Haidara\" style=\"width: 100%; height: auto; display: block; border-radius: 6px;\" \/>\n    <\/div>\n    <div style=\"flex: 2 1 420px; min-width: 280px;\">\n      <p>Since October 2024, A\u00efcha Cherif Haidara has held the position of management assistant within AMS. With a degree in banking and insurance, she has built her career around management, communication, and service. Before joining AMS, she completed an internship at SUNU Assurance in the production department, where she gained practical insight into the insurance sector. She also worked as a call center advisor, an experience that strengthened her listening and communication skills.<\/p>\n      <p>Alongside her professional journey, A\u00efcha became involved early on in community and youth organizations. Since 2015, she has been actively engaged in several youth networks, including MAJ\/AGBEF, AFRIYAN, and the JA\/SR\/PF network, all of which work to promote sexual and reproductive health rights for adolescents and young people in Guinea.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n  <p>This commitment has enabled her to contribute to awareness-raising and support initiatives around family planning and sexual health rights, combining professional skills with civic engagement.<\/p>\n  <p>Today, within AMS, A\u00efcha supports administrative management and the coordination of day-to-day activities. She particularly appreciates the variety of tasks that shape her work and the opportunity to contribute in a concrete way to the smooth functioning of the organization. Every day, she is motivated by the feeling of being useful and of contributing, at her own level, to a broader mission.<\/p>\n\n  <p>For her, being a woman in her profession means demonstrating professionalism, determination, and a strong sense of listening. Challenges do exist, especially when it comes to balancing professional and personal responsibilities, but perseverance makes it possible to overcome them.<\/p>\n\n  <p>Outside of work, A\u00efcha enjoys spending time with her family and friends and continuing her involvement in community activities. She sees International Women\u2019s Rights Day as an opportunity to celebrate progress made and to highlight the importance of women\u2019s role in society.<\/p>\n\n  <p>Her message is simple: believe in yourself, support other women, and never underestimate your potential.<\/p>\n\n  <div style=\"height: 40px;\"><\/div>\n\n  <h3 style=\"color: #f87b83;\">Kadiatou Diallo, at the heart of emergency care<\/h3>\n\n  <div style=\"display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; gap: 30px; align-items: flex-start; margin-bottom: 20px;\">\n    <div style=\"flex: 1 1 320px; min-width: 280px;\">\n      <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/santeams.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/kadiatou-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Kadiatou Diallo\" style=\"width: 100%; height: auto; display: block; border-radius: 6px;\" \/>\n    <\/div>\n    <div style=\"flex: 2 1 420px; min-width: 280px;\">\n      <p>For more than twelve years, Kadiatou Diallo has worked as a nurse anesthetist within Medical SOS by AMS. It is a demanding profession that requires both rigor, composure, and a deep sense of dedication. Trained at the National School of Health in Kindia, where she obtained her State Registered Nurse diploma, she then pursued specialization in anesthesia and intensive care before earning a degree in the field from Gamal Abdel Nasser University in Conakry.<\/p>\n      <p>Her professional path began at the Ambroise Par\u00e9 Clinic in Guinea, where she worked in intensive care. In that highly demanding environment, she developed solid experience in the management of critically ill patients. This first stage deeply shaped her vocation: supporting patients in moments when responsiveness, precision, and medical mastery are essential.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n  <p>Within Medical SOS by AMS, Kadiatou now works in a variety of contexts, particularly on industrial and mining sites, where she contributes to the medical care of workers. Her role covers many responsibilities: coordinating medical and trauma emergencies, providing consultations and outpatient care, managing medical evacuations, and preparing and monitoring emergency equipment and ambulances. She also contributes to health prevention and awareness activities for teams in the field.<\/p>\n\n  <p>For Kadiatou, being a woman in this profession means showing courage, professionalism, and commitment, while remaining attentive to others. Listening and team spirit are, in her view, essential qualities for working in healthcare.<\/p>\n\n  <p>Outside work, she enjoys devoting time to sports, reading, and her family, as well as traveling to discover new horizons. These moments help her maintain the balance needed to practice such a demanding profession.<\/p>\n\n  <p>In her eyes, International Women\u2019s Rights Day is a powerful reminder of the essential place women hold in society. She draws inspiration in particular from committed and courageous women who are able to support and encourage others to move forward.<\/p>\n\n  <p>Today, Kadiatou simply describes herself as a devoted woman, passionate about her profession and always ready to learn from others.<\/p>\n\n  <div style=\"height: 40px;\"><\/div>\n\n  <h3 style=\"color: #f87b83;\">Dr A\u00efchetou Komah, caring for others and serving the community<\/h3>\n\n  <div style=\"display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; gap: 30px; align-items: flex-start; margin-bottom: 20px;\">\n    <div style=\"flex: 1 1 320px; min-width: 280px;\">\n      <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/santeams.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-03-06-at-220555.jpeg\" alt=\"Dr A\u00efchetou Komah\" style=\"width: 100%; height: auto; display: block; border-radius: 6px;\" \/>\n    <\/div>\n    <div style=\"flex: 2 1 420px; min-width: 280px;\">\n      <p>A general practitioner for one year, Dr A\u00efchetou Komah now works within Medical SOS by AMS, where she puts her skills at the service of patients with conviction and commitment. Passionate about health and prevention, she is also involved in social initiatives through her NGO Soninkara G\u00e9n\u00e9ration Solidaire, convinced that community action plays an essential role in the long-term improvement of public health.<\/p>\n      <p>Her medical journey has been shaped by a strong sensitivity to public health issues. A graduate of Kofi Annan University of Guinea, she dedicated her medical thesis to maternal deaths, a subject that is especially close to her heart because it directly concerns the health of women and children. During her years of training, she also launched the first edition of a medical caravan, a significant experience that allowed her to meet communities directly and strengthen her work in prevention and health education.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n  <p>Dr Komah\u2019s medical vocation has its roots in a personal experience. When her mother suffered from peritonitis caused by a gastric perforation, she was deeply struck by the speed and effectiveness of the doctors\u2019 intervention that saved her life. It was at that moment that she decided to follow the same path.<\/p>\n\n  <p>On a daily basis, she sees patients in consultation, establishes diagnoses, implements treatments, and ensures medical follow-up. She also places great importance on prevention and health education, while working closely with other healthcare professionals to ensure comprehensive patient care.<\/p>\n\n  <p>For her, being a woman in medicine today means demonstrating that women fully belong in demanding professions and that they can actively contribute to the development of the healthcare system.<\/p>\n\n  <p>Outside of work, she enjoys good food, reading, traveling, and sports, especially at the beach, while continuing to engage in community activities and spend time with her loved ones.<\/p>\n\n  <p>In her view, International Women\u2019s Rights Day is an opportunity to celebrate progress made while also reminding us of the challenges that still remain. Her message to women is clear: believe in your potential, support one another, and keep moving forward with courage and determination.<\/p>\n\n  <p>Today, Dr Komah defines herself as a resilient and committed woman, convinced that work, faith, and perseverance make it possible to have a positive impact on one\u2019s community.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-69cf68e e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"69cf68e\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dbd88e4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"dbd88e4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.8; margin: 20px 0;\">\n  <h2>Have a question or a specific need?<\/h2>\n  <p>\n    <span style=\"display: inline-block; border-left: 5px solid #004F90; padding-left: 10px;\">\n      For any question or specific need, feel free to contact us:<br \/><br \/>\n      <strong>Phone<\/strong>: +224 610 72 38 38<br \/>\n      <strong>Email<\/strong>: contact@santeams.com<br \/>\n      <strong>Website<\/strong>: www.santeams.com<br \/><br \/>\n    <\/span>\n  <\/p>\n  <p>You can also find us on our social media channels:<\/p>\n  <div style=\"margin-top: 10px; display: flex; align-items: center; gap: 15px;\">\n    <a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/african-medical-supply\/?viewAsMember=true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n      <br \/>\n      <img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 30px; height: 30px;\" src=\"https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/8\/81\/LinkedIn_icon.svg\" alt=\"LinkedIn\" \/>\n      <br \/>\n    <\/a>\n    <br \/>\n    <a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/africanmedicalsupply\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n      <br \/>\n      <img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 30px; height: 30px;\" src=\"https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/5\/51\/Facebook_f_logo_%282019%29.svg\" alt=\"Facebook\" \/>\n      <br \/>\n    <\/a>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Version fran\u00e7aise Every year, March 8 is an opportunity to reflect on the progress made in favor of women\u2019s rights, while also recognizing the essential role women play in our societies, in our families, and in the workplace.
