Africmed International Hospital, under the leadership of Chief Executive Officer Dr. Omar Jagne, on Wednesday donated a brand-new orthopedic drill to Ndemban Clinic in Bakau.
The equipment, provided as part of the hospital’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), is intended for operations on bone fractures, skull fractures, and other related medical procedures.
Dr. Jagne highlighted that the orthopedic drill was among the urgent needs of the clinic and would significantly enhance its operational efficiency. “The importance of having an orthopedic drill in the hospital cannot be overemphasized, as every operation requires it,” he said.
Noting the high cost of the equipment, Dr. Jagne emphasized that human life takes precedence. The drill, purchased from overseas, was donated to support the clinic’s capacity to deliver effective healthcare services.
Dr. Jagne who previously worked at Edward Francis Small Teaching Hospital, said his experience informed his decision to support Ndemban Clinic. After consulting with Dr. Mariama Joof of the clinic regarding urgent needs, he learned that an orthopedic drill was essential. He subsequently decided to donate the equipment as part of Africmed’s commitment to national development.
Receiving the donation, Dr. Joof expressed gratitude describing the gesture as “timely” and “highly appreciated” by the clinic’s management. She noted that the drill would go a long way in addressing operational challenges, particularly in bone and skull fracture procedures.
Adama Njie, Administrator of Ndemban Clinic, also commended Dr. Jagne for his benevolence, calling the donation invaluable and a demonstration of patriotism. She urged other philanthropists and stakeholders to support the clinic in acquiring additional equipment, such as a fracture table.
“We pray that Almighty Allah grants Dr. Omar Jagne long life and good health to continue supporting the health sector,” Njie added.
