The PMI, Maternal Child Protection, is celebrating its 75th anniversary this year.

This departmental competence was proposed at the end of the Second World War to fight, first of all, against infant mortality.

PMI was also a pioneer in the distribution of the contraceptive pill.

Today, 75 years after its creation, how is it coping with the health crisis?
