Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

PRO (3): DLyons, Colin Rowe, Yolanda Broad

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Clompy (asker) Oct 15, 2013:
no results thank you, I did try conakry maternité on google maps, but it didn't yield either a maternity hospital or a district called maternity. But I believe the person who filled out the form has created a new field with Mté: (and that's why it's followed by a colon), "Maternity hospital of:", and that they don't mean Mté is a district.

Asker Have you gone into Google map and looked for a district called Maternité for this particular town? Surely the way to proceed?

maternity department/facility/clinic

I strongly suspect that this does indeed refer to the maternity facility in Matam (one of the 5 districts that make up the city of Conakry, the capital of the Republic of Guinea (hence RG)) mentioned in the reference below:

"Il ressort de l'analyse du Tableau suivant: la ville de Conakry dispose:
- de moins de 1 médecin pour 100.000 habitants ;
- de 0,29 lits pour 1.000 habitants, alors que la norme admise par l'O. M.S. est de 8 lits pour 1.000 habitants;
- d'un seul laboratoire intégré à l'ensemble de l'Hôpital ;
- de deux (2) crèches seulement pour toute la ville exceptées les maternités du CHU de Donka et du CHU d'Ignace Deen, les autres maternités de Conakry ne disposent pas de bloc opératoire, même la maternité de Matam qui à elle seule
totalise l'ensemble des accouchements du CHU Ignace Deen et Donka."

For what it's worth...

Taking both your examples (Matam and Itaosy) and Googling together with "Maternité" does provide a number of hits in each case. I think your initial assumption is probably correct.
