maternity department/facility/clinic


Explanation:
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."

Reference information:
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.
