A Hospital Born From Sacrifice
In 2017, during a medical mission to the leprosy village of Kalom, Senegal, Dr. Idrissa Faye, a beloved member of the Africa Cries Out medical team, suddenly passed away while serving the people he loved.
As our team remembers:
“When we went to the leprosy village, he was traveling with us; when we came back, he was lying in a box.”
His passing shook us deeply — but it also ignited a mission. From that day, we made a promise:
We will continue his work. We will honor his legacy. We will build a hospital in his name.
Today, that promise is becoming reality.
Why This Hospital Matters
For years, Africa Cries Out has served thousands through a small clinic and short-term medical missions. But the need has grown far beyond what temporary care can provide.
- 6,000+ patients treated yearly at the base clinic
- 2,000+ patients served annually through medical outreach
- 300+ babies delivered each year in limited facilities
- 20+ surgeries performed annually in borrowed operating rooms
- 100–300 women suffer childbirth-related fistula each year in the region
- Emergency care is often hours away
The current clinic is too small. The needs are too great. Lives are being lost because help is too far.
