General description

Thiès, a crossroads city and capital of a densely populated region, faces high demand for healthcare from both the city and surrounding areas. The Ahmadou Sakhir Ndiéguène regional hospital benefits from an investment program of over 12 billion FCFA, but needs persist for equipment, particularly in imaging (ultrasound, radiography, CT scan) and laboratory. Neighborhood health posts (such as Petit Thialy) and the Thiès health district provide local care and prevention. Maternal and neonatal health remains a priority: according to the regional governor, the region recorded 275 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births, and twelve equipped ambulances have been provided to improve evacuations. Located on highly frequented road axes, the region experiences numerous accidents, making emergency and medical transport essential. This mission mobilizes the diaspora to strengthen local health centers, equipment, staff training, emergency services, maternal and child health, and access to essential medicines, in coordination with the city council, the Regional Health Directorate, and the health district.
