Abidjan, Ivory Coast | August 2026
On 20 August 2026, Dr. Wamba Aristide successfully performed the first penile prosthesis implantation at Clinique Médicale Cœur Sacré in Abidjan, using Boston Scientific’s AMS 700™ inflatable penile prosthesis. This also marked the first implantation of its kind in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Supported by our local team and technical assistance from Boston Scientific, the intervention marked an important milestone in the clinic’s development of advanced urology services.
