Dalal Jamm National Hospital Centre

Hôpital Dalal Jamm, formally the Centre Hospitalier National Dalal Jamm (CHNDJ), is a third-level public health establishment in Guédiawaye, in the Dakar region of Senegal. It presents itself as "l'hôpital autrement" (the hospital differently) and operates as a national referral centre combining patient care, teaching and research. Its stated mission is to give all Senegalese access to care comparable to that available in reference countries, an ambition described on its own website as an expression of the will of President Macky Sall to break inequalities in health care. The hospital was built as a product of international cooperation, with financing from the Saudi Fund, the Islamic Development Bank, the OPEC Fund for International Development, the Arab Bank for Economic Development in Africa and the State of Senegal. It is located between the Parcelles Assainies, Golf and Guédiawaye districts and offers multiple specialties across a large campus. Its services include an accident and emergency department with 24/7 urgent care, intensive care and anaesthesia, general surgery, gynaecology, paediatrics, internal medicine, nephrology, radiotherapy, haematology and biochemistry laboratories, among others. As a national hospital centre, Dalal Jamm has expanded its capabilities over time. In 2020 it announced 100 new beds and 11 resuscitation devices. In early 2024 it inaugurated a peritoneal dialysis centre in collaboration with the Senegalese Society of Nephrology, Dialysis and Renal Transplantation, and signed agreements with the Lions Club Dakar Renaissance to add a nursery, a guest house for accompanying families and a play area, as well as with the NGO Soutoura to facilitate care. It also runs public-health and solidarity initiatives, including support for children with cancer with the Child Protection Support Unit (CAPE). The hospital is state-owned and publicly funded, with a director's office and medical staff organised by service. It communicates through its website, a newsletter and "Dalal Jamm TV", and maintains a 24-hour emergency line. Its address and standard telephone contact are published on its site. The institution is a significant piece of Senegal's tertiary health infrastructure and a symbol of the country's effort to decentralise and upgrade quality care outside the historic Dakar hospital centres.
