Guédiawaye: Doctors stage 48-hour strike after colleague is shot

The Association of Interns and Former Interns of Senegal’s Hospitals (AIAIHS) called a 48-hour strike on October 22 and 23 after one of its members was shot at his home in Guédiawaye. The doctor was hit during the night of October 20–21 as he got up to close a window after hearing noise from clashes linked to Navétane activities. He was taken to Dalal Jamm Hospital, treated by the surgery department, and is now in stable condition. Association president Dr. Gora Gning said the projectile may have been a live bullet and called for the circumstances to be clarified and responsibility established.
