The context
Like many countries, Senegal needs to improve access to healthcare for its rural population. The scarcity and poor condition of roads, in particular, prevent many people from travelling to existing healthcare facilities. Against this backdrop, the Senegalese government decided to build four hospitals in regions far away from the capital.
The project
Senegal has commissioned Ellipse Projects to design, build, supply, install, and commission four hospital facilities, including three with 150 beds (in Sédhiou, Kaffrine, and Kédougou) and one with 300 beds (in Touba). The latter is also equipped with a dialysis centre, a burns unit, an AnaPath histopathology laboratory and a radiotherapy unit.
The project was financed by a loan from Société Générale.
The impact
As well as improving access to healthcare for the local population, the project has had a significant social impact: site construction involved some 700 people per hospital, while 30 local businesses were involved as suppliers or subcontractors.
As part of this project, which was carried out during the Covid-19 pandemic, Ellipse Projects made a donation of 100 million CFA francs to the Ministry of Health to help combat the coronavirus.
