« Sénégal Solidaire » : Absa Faye dévoile son combat contre le cancer
In an opinion piece published by L'Observateur, the First Lady of Senegal, Absa Faye, outlined the foundations of her commitment to fighting cancer, a disease which, according to her, "takes hold of a life, devastates a family, and undermines stability." For her, the response cannot be solely medical: "Treatment is essential. But treatment alone is not enough." She therefore advocates for a comprehensive approach that integrates prevention and screening, while also considering the human and social impact of the disease, particularly on women who often bear "the invisible burden of this ordeal."
This vision is being realized through two major initiatives. Firstly, the National Cancer Screening Center in Guédiawaye, designed to offer a "coherent pathway" for patients, who often face a lack of guidance within the healthcare system. Secondly, the "Senegal Solidarity" National Foundation, aimed at mobilizing philanthropic resources for vulnerable populations. The First Lady affirms that she is putting "her image at the service of this cause" to strengthen this wave of solidarity.
Absa Faye frames this commitment within a collective approach, commending President Bassirou Diomaye Faye's attention to issues of "human dignity" as well as the work of healthcare professionals. She concludes by offering a message of support to patients, emphasizing that collective action must prevent illness from compounding the suffering caused by isolation.
For her, taking care of the population means above all "leaving no one behind".
