Tambacounda hospital is the main hospital of eastern Senegal, serving the region of Tambacounda with its 700.000 inhabitants, and beyond. The Josef and Anni Albers Foundation has been supporting the hospital for more than fifteen years and is currently constructing a major new pediatric and maternity clinic as part of the hospital, designed by my architectural office, Manuel Herz Architects. With approximately 150 beds, the clinic is scheduled to open towards the end of 2020.
