President Macky Sall of Senegal last Thursday sacked Abdoulaye Diouf Sarr, the minister of Health and Social Welfare who has occupied the post since  2017 following a fire outbreak at Mame Abdou Aziz Dabakh  Malick Sy Hospital in the religious town of Tivaouane on May 25, which resulted in death of 11 new babies.

He was replaced by Mrs. Marie Khemesse Ngom, director of Health.

According to the Senegalese media, the health authorities have been blamed for lack of care for patients which results in deaths in some hospitals.
