What we do
Three connected pillars, shaped by hospital needs.
Equipment & Supplies
Helping neonatal units access appropriate, needed equipment and essential supplies.
Training & Capacity Building
Supporting equipment training and clinical capacity alongside healthcare professionals and partners.
Family Support
Helping NICU families feel informed, supported and included during a vulnerable time.
Why we started
NeoSupport Sénégal was founded by Sokhna Bambi Fall, a Senegalese mother whose twins were born at 26 weeks gestation. Their NICU journey showed her what the right equipment, trained teams and family support can mean for a newborn's survival.
