The Lourdes maternity hospital closed last November, but it surplus equipment, including beds and wheelchairs, is not being wasted. A local charity has arranged for everything to be packed and shipped in a container to Senegal. There the material will equip a maternity ward in a small town about 80 kilometres from Dakar. Local health authorities say the gift will transform services to around 50000 people.
