Example of Niomré

Niomré is a region in north-west Senegal comprising 47 villages and over 35,000 inhabitants. It lacks a hospital and has only a unique health center with no doctors.

The Senegalese Ministry of Health and BLUMORPHO are using the example of Niomré to address the most urgent needs, with a view to extending these demonstrations to other remote areas.

Unmeet needs:
  • Deficiency in infrastructure and personnel
  • Inadequacy of suitable medical coverage
  • Lack of maternity services and adequate gestational follow-up
  • Increase in the incidence of infectious diseases
  • Health issues related to access to clean water or energy powering infrastructure.

Challenges

Remote areas face significant health disparities compared to urban centers and are more vulnerable to disease outbreak.

Diagnostic

1 in 2 people across the world still has little to no access to diagnostic testing .

By investing in innovative technologies and approaches, we can enhance disease surveillance, early detection, and response capabilities, ultimately saving lives and reducing the burden of infectious diseases on communities worldwide. 

Human Ressources

A shortfall of 10 million healthcare workers projected by 2030, with the majority in low and middle income countries.

This shortage of healthcare professionals poses a significant challenge to the delivery of essential health services and the overall well-being of populations in these regions.

Water and sanitation

38% of health care facilities lack improved water source, 19% do not have improved sanitation.

35% lack water and soap for handwashing. Without access to clean water, adequate sanitation facilities, and essential hygiene supplies like soap, healthcare facilities struggle to uphold the necessary standards for infection control and disease prevention.

Pandemic prepardeness

123 million € invested in the Team Europe initiative “Sustainable Health Security” to support collaboration between Africa CDC and the European CDC and implement a One health approach.

The COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the pressing need for progress in this field. By investing in new technologies, diagnostics, treatments, and data tracking systems, we enhance our ability to detect, control, and eliminate emerging diseases before they escalate into devastating pandemics. 

Health Insurance coverage

In low income countries, nearly 40% of total health expenditure comes from out-of-pocket payments

By developing innovative financing mechanisms and solutions, it’s possible to reduce the financial burden on individuals and ensure greater access to essential healthcare services.

Energy

About 1 billion people are served by healthcare facilities with unreliable electricity supply or with no electricity.

Without electricity, healthcare facilities struggle to refrigerate vaccines and medicines, operate essential medical equipment, provide adequate lighting for surgeries and examinations, and store medical records digitally.

Diagnostic: AI-powered tools Wearable health monitoring devices, etc

Human ressources: Telemedicine platforms Mobile health clinics, etc

Health insurance: Microinsurance, Mobile payment platforms, etc
