The next stop on my West Africa trip was a quick trip to Senegal. NeuroKids is considering building a program in Senegal, which is a hub in Francophone Africa for the training of surgeons and medical staff, so I wanted to pop in and meet the potential partners and try to understand a bit better the situation there along with the training system.
I haven’t spent much time in Senegal but it’s always been high on my list of places to spend more time, and this short trip only whetted my appetite for more! It’s a big hospital with a huge potential impact, and definitely a place I’m recommending for further program expansion.
I ended up having a free day here on a weekend, which was a much welcomed pause in what had been a crazy week of travel and long days. I was able to stretch my legs and walk along the Corniche while enjoying some cooler breezes and a stop for Lebanese food. Enjoy!
