With the building work complete, the new Paediatric Ward in Loul Sessène, Senegal, is now moving into the equipping phase. The first beds are being placed in the rooms, together with bedside cabinets and panels decorated with colourful drawings that make the spaces more welcoming for the little patients.
This is a concrete step towards a space dedicated to preventing and treating malnutrition, supporting children’s growth and welcoming families from the community. The ward is part of an integrated maternal and child health hub at the Near Me hospital, which already has an active maternity ward and a Nutritional Rehabilitation and Education Centre.
The equipping of the rooms will continue step by step, ahead of the official inauguration. Each new piece of furniture brings the facility closer to the moment when it can provide timely, safe and accessible care to all children in the area.
The project is made possible thanks to the invaluable support of Fondazione Prosolidar.
FONDAZIONE PROSOLIDAR ENTE FILANTROPICO ETS is an organisation established within the credit sector to carry out solidarity and socially relevant projects in Italy and abroad, promoting social justice, inclusion, and sustainable development.
