The Saudi Fund For Development Celebrates Launch Of King Salman Hospital In The Presence Of Mauritania President
(MENAFN- Mid-East Info)
The landmark project, valued at USD 70 million, aims to enhance Mauritania's healthcare sector, particularly in the capital Nouakchott, which is home to a significant portion of the country's population. The new hospital, with a planned capacity of 300 beds and multiple specialist departments including emergency, maternity, pediatrics, intensive care, nephrology, surgery, and diagnostic laboratories, will address the growing demand for advanced medical services. It will also serve as a national referral center supporting 15 hospitals across the country, easing pressure on existing facilities. In addition, the facility will function as a teaching hospital, providing training and qualification programs for medical professionals, and building sustainable national healthcare capacity. The hospital complex will also include accommodation for 50 doctors, ensuring that skilled staff can be retained and supported on-site. The visit also included the signing of an agreement under which SFD will fund nearly 40 solar-powered wells through its Saudi Program for Drilling Wells and Rural Development in Africa. This program has provided potable drinking water to over 4.5 million people across the continent, improving health outcomes and livelihoods in rural communities. Since its inception, SFD has financed more than 20 projects in Mauritania through concessional development loans totaling over USD 665 million. In addition, the Government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, through SFD, has provided grants exceeding USD 172 million. These projects are aimed at fostering social development and supporting sustainable economic prosperity in the country.
