The Omarienne family has started mediation at the Amadou Sakhir Mbaye hospital in Louga to allow the resumption of maternity care activities paralyzed by a movement of workers, APS has learned.
« I intervened with the workers of the hospital to ask them to suspend their strike. Mediation is underway and we are hopeful that a favorable outcome will be found. said Serigne Cheikh Tall, son of the Caliph of the Omar family. He was speaking on the sidelines of a Quran recital and prayer ceremony organized by the “Fataliku Wayu Dawloyi” Association (in memory of the deceased), at the Toll Pérot cemeteries in Louga in the Thiokhna district. The inter-union of hospital workers denounced, Thursday, the ” Conservatory measures ” taken by the Ministry of Health towards the staff whose responsibility would be engaged in the case of the death in childbirth of the patient Astou Sokhna. In response to these measures, it decided to suspend all ” participation in maternity care activities that do not meet the required quality standards “. Since the beginning of this mood swing, ” 13 women were evacuated to Saint-Louis for medical treatment “, lamented Serigne Cheikhou, noting that not everyone has the means to pay for care in clinics.

But, it happens that in the exercise of a function, errors occur “, he said. According to him, ” even if it turns out that the wrong is on the medical side, the people must be able to be tolerant and come to their senses ».
