About the Organization

Bansang Hospital is the farthest hospital from the nation’s infrastructure base, serving the poorest of The Gambia’s population. It is at once the largest as well as the most strained of The Gambia’s tertiary care hospitals, serving a population catchment area of nearly 600,000 people. The original 160 bed Bansang Hospital was built by the British in 1938 when The Gambia was still part of the British Empire. Major renovations and expansions have been done since 1996, in part due to the support and efforts of the British charity group Bansang Hospital Appeal.
