EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling scene outside the Hospital in Dakar, the capital city of Senegal during the 1910s. At the time, Dakar was the administrative center of French West Africa, a vast colonial territory encompassing present-day Benin, Burkina Faso, Cape Verde, Ivory Coast, Guinea-Bissau, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Senegal, and Chad. The image shows a crowd of people gathered outside the hospital, many of them carrying sick family members or friends on makeshift stretchers. The hospital, a large, imposing stone building with red-tiled roofs, looms in the background. Established by the French colonial authorities, the hospital was one of the few medical facilities available to the indigenous population of Senegal and the wider region. The scene outside the hospital reflects the desperate need for medical care and treatment in the colonial era. The Senegalese people, dressed in traditional clothing, wait anxiously for news of their loved ones. The hospital staff, mostly European, can be seen attending to patients through the windows. The photograph offers a poignant glimpse into the past, highlighting the stark contrast between the advanced medical facilities available to Europeans and the limited access to healthcare for the African population. Despite the challenges, the hospital in Dakar played a crucial role in providing medical care to the local community, laying the foundation for the development of healthcare infrastructure in Senegal and the wider region. This photograph is a reminder of the complex history of colonialism and its impact on healthcare in Africa. It also underscores the importance of equitable access to healthcare as a fundamental human right.
