Touba : L’hôpital Matlaboul Fawzeyni célèbre la Journée mondiale du sourire
The Matlaboul Fawzeyni National Hospital in Touba celebrated World Smile Day this Thursday, an opportunity to highlight the importance of this simple but universal gesture that transcends cultures and borders.
In the presence of staff including health providers, the hospital director, Dr. Massamba Thioro Sall, recalled the symbolic and therapeutic significance of the smile:
“Smiling transcends borders and cultures. When you smile at someone, whether they are Chinese, Japanese, or Russian, they understand that you are transmitting positive vibes. Patients come with suffering and pain. The first thing we must offer them is a smile: to welcome them, to tell them that we are ready to treat them and support them,” he said.
Dr. Sall also highlighted a particular aspect of this day: the care of children born with cleft lip and palate, a malformation that directly affects the smile. Since 2006, Matlaboul Fawzeyni Hospital has been a surgical intervention site for this type of pathology.
"Since 2016, we have operated on more than 500 children. Since 2021 alone, more than 200 operations have been performed, giving these children confidence, joy, and hope," he added, praising the exceptional work of the medical teams, particularly that of Dr. Mame Coumba Sarr, head of the ENT department, and her colleagues.
For the director, World Smile Day is much more than a celebration:
"She reminds us that beyond life's difficulties, we must learn to smile, transmit positive vibes, cultivate kindness and take actions of solidarity. This is how we can restore hope to people and strengthen cohesion within communities," concluded Dr. Massamba Thioro Sall.
