Professor Abdou Niang, nephrologist “One in two Senegalese people is hypertensive”
Professor Abdou Niang said this Thursday in Mbour, on the sidelines of the workshop on the conditions of access to dialysis kits that “hypertension is, with diabetes, one of the leading causes of renal failure and that one in two Senegalese is hypertensive.” The head of the chair of nephrology at Cheikh Anta Diop University indicated that “kidney disease is currently the 11th leading cause of death in the world and in 2040, it will be the 5th.” According to him, renal failure is a public health problem in the world with 850 million patients. “In Senegal, there are more than 850 thousand people with renal failure. But what is serious is that the vast majority do not know it because renal failure is a silent killer,” said the nephrologist. Hypertension and diabetes being “the main causes of renal failure”, he therefore recommended the need for every Senegalese to regularly take their blood pressure and control their diabetes.

Appointment of Fatou Sow Pds women take Wade to court
Women from the Senegalese Democratic Party are contesting Abdoulaye Wade’s decision. And this time, it’s in court. In a video lasting a few minutes, Yandé Fall, one of the rebels, explains: “I come to remind you that recently, there was an administrative decision which was taken appointing Mrs. Fatou Sow national president of the women of the PDS and Mrs. Ndèye Astou Camara general secretary of women. These decisions are at odds with the texts which govern our political formation, precisely our internal regulations.

Because these positions are not nominative but elective,” argues Ms. Fall. She announces that the hearing is scheduled for July.

The conflict between the mayor of the city of Thiès and the rector of Iba Der Thiam University is inevitable. Babacar Diop demands “the liberation of the Palais des Congrès by the University as quickly as possible”. It is in this logic of recovering “its heritage” that the City Council, following the ordinary session of this Thursday, June 27, 2024, demanded its restitution. “We have observed that the administration of the University of Thiès is determined in its endeavor to monopolize the city’s heritage to build its rectorate there,” he is indignant. Babacar Diop informs that a copy of the resolution will be sent to the rector, the governor of Thiès as well as the Minister of Higher Education, Research and Innovation.
