    Best hospital ever, for safe delivery of new baby and proper care of mother and child. Best ever in Dakar Senegal. The best hospital for newborn delivery and proper care of mother and child. The best in Dakar, Senegal.

    I am very disappointed, my twins come with their Senegalese mother for a second pediatrician visit and vaccination. 1 month old babies are born in this hospital, the hospital refuses to consult them and vaccinate them under the pretext that they are children of toubab unless the mother agrees to pay double the price compared to a Senegalese baby. I am surprised to see that in Senegal discrimination even exists against babies. I am very disappointed to see that for a baby the right to health comes at a price even in this public hospital. This is only my case so I imagine that for children of Dakar certain things must be complicated. May God help them and give them all the best health. Personal pediatric consultation service not friendly at all.

    Just perfect! I only give five stars, because you can't go beyond that. They have everything: adorable, but it becomes a saw in Senegal, efficient, diligent. I had understood long before he told me that I had caught covid, but this was announced to me with infinite sensitivity. And what's more, but I suppose it's a mistake, I didn't pay a single franc. On this subject, I would like to point out that I will be returning on August 5, and that any bill will be paid immediately and with gratitude! Congratulations again and thank you!

    This is the best hospital I have been to. Returning with my wife after 21 years in the US, I was apprehensive of what service will be rendered. I was more than surprised when their services is better than the services I received in both Grady Memorial and Piedmont Hospitals, both in Atlanta. The doctors were young and very knowledgeable. The prenatal was excellent, the nurses were the best. My wife doesn't speak Wollof or French but the nurses made her feel at home and treated her like their sister and daughter. When it was time to deliver, I just can't tell you how experienced and helpful those doctors were. Don't be fooled by their young age. They are better than most doctors I have seen in the US. Words are not sufficient to express how impressed I am. I am grateful to Allah for directing me and my wife to this hospital. I pray to contribute soon to the hospital any kind of way. God bless the doctors and nurses. Love them all.

    I was just about to go there for an appt for a cardiac consultation and saw this review page! I want to add my personal experience with my son who was there for 4 days in their hospital unit: GREAT JOB! I'm American and have been living in Dakar for years. Normally we go to Hospital SAMU where we also had EXCELLENT treatment, being patched up (me and him) after motor scooter accidents! But this time we ended up at Phillipe Senghor after my son literally passed out after taking the Senegalese BAC (independent candidate). He was enrolled in SABS high school program but wanted to get the Senegalese BAC as well as take the American AP tests for extra credit at university; so basically he as doing three separate programs in one year and all the stress and study got the best of him on the last day during the math portion of the test. He passed out at his desk and was unable to complete the test. FORTUNATELY for him his scores were high enough everything else that the average grade gave him a passing mark so that was a blessing from Allah! The staff took him to Senghor and I met them there. From the FIRST MOMENT I arrived they arranged for an English speaker to come tell me what happened, where to go and what was involved in the process as they wanted to admit him. No one could figure out why this physically fit 18yr old athlete suddenly couldn't walk, had a massive headache and couldn't even tolerate sunlight... I think they thought he had a brain tumor or something and didn't want me to be upset. It turned out he didn't but it was a very scary time as you can imagine. The staff were tolerant of my 'American ways' lol! and very helpful. They allowed me to bring items from home to block out the sun and make his (very basic, reasonably priced) space w/ac and flat screen tv, clean w/shower, toilet & sink separately), a private room more livable for me/us - as I was going to be there 24/7 myself! I am going into details for other Anglophones or Americans to read so if they have to have a child admitted (or themselves) they will understand the process and know that IT'S OK. Just go with the flow, FOLLOW DIRECTIONS and let them do their job. They gave me the list of items I had to buy and directed me to the nearest pharmacy. I thought it was odd but just did what I was told and it all became clear to me later. Here in Senegal, YOU are responsible for ALL the products that are given during admission/stay. From needles to saline drips, everything - and at first it seems weird but it's not... I was able to inspect everything in advance, pay and be responsible for whatver went in his body. WE as consumers of medical treatment aren't getting ripped off like in the US with overpriced aspirin and $100 salt water! You can get 100% of what you need in a hospital at ANY pharmacy and pharmacies are literally 2 blocks apart here in the city. In my neighborhood there are 5 within walking distance, a private hospital, 2 dentist offices and Philippe Senghor hospital is 3 blocks away, again, walking distance. We have very good medical coverage & treatment in Dakar so ignore what you read online by people that don't live here. I am AMAZED at how many things I can get over the counter at the pharmacy (a pharmacist is a Dr right???) and also how medical treatment is relatively speaking from where I came from in America...reasonably priced and fast. You're going to spend a couple of hours and Senegalese complain like crazy but for us, Americans, we know emergency room visits are an all day ordeal with nurses that only care about your insurance information! I paid for 4 days in the hospital plus food (you provide your own meals), treatments, private room, meds, exams, testing, x-rays and whatever analysis he had 4 less than $400. I literally went to the atm one time, got the $400 limit and had money left when we went home AND THEY CARED ABOUT MY KID! They even wanted to know about the test results (as did we!) and someone sat with him while I went to see - HE PASSED and 3 days later was released. THUMBS UP & 5*s!
