Lutte contre la Tuberculose au Sénégal : Le Ministère de la Santé scelle un accord tripartite avec Carrefour Médical et Fujifilm

During TICAD 9, the Ministry of Health signed a tripartite agreement with Carrefour Médical and Fujifilm. The agreement aims to provide innovative solutions as part of strategies for systematic tuberculosis screening using digital mobile radiography.

A new era is dawning in the fight against tuberculosis in Senegal. Carrefour Médical, the Japanese company FUJIFILM, and the Ministry of Health and Social Action signed a tripartite agreement at TICAD 9, which aims to provide innovative solutions as part of strategies for systematic tuberculosis screening using digital mobile radiography.

This strategic agreement marks a crucial step in their shared commitment to combating tuberculosis in Senegal. The latter remains a public health concern with an incidence of 92 cases per 100,000 inhabitants in 2023.

As a reminder, Carrefour Médical and Fujifilm were the pioneers of the transition from analog to digital in medical imaging services within Senegalese public hospitals. Their partnership has also led to other significant achievements in the field of medical imaging, with a fleet of 500 devices distributed across various health facilities in Senegal, thus greatly contributing to diagnostic assistance.
