The SIM Galmi Hospital offers both inpatient and outpatient services so that we can best care for our community. Each medical department works in partnership with our hospital chaplaincy program so that our patients receive both physical and spiritual care.
The SIM Galmi Hospital has a 40 bed maternity unit currently run by 2 obstetric doctors, 7 midwives, 12 midwife aids and an evangelist. In addition to the 40 inpatient beds, there are 5 birthing beds, a post-operative recovery room, 2 neonatal resuscitation trolleys and 2 incubators for premature babies.
The SIM Galmi Hospital exists to proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ by demonstrating His love to those who are in need of medical care. Due to socio-economic and cultural barriers, many of our patients arrive at the hospital in the advanced stages of illness, resulting in limited treatment options.
Over 300 people pass through the doors of our Outpatient Department each weekday. We offer many services that do no require certain patients to be hospitalized.
One-half of Niger’s population is under the age of 18. The SIM Hospital in Galmi believes that children are precious to the heart of God, and therefore we seek to care for this vulnerable demographic with the best treatment options available in our context.
We believe that our patients have dignity and worth; we seek to help our patients holistically through the medium of physical rehabilitation.
The SIM Galmi Hospital has been providing surgical intervention since it opened it’s doors in 1950. Today, Galmi’s Surgical Department is thriving and expanding. In 2012 we reopened our PAACS Surgical Training Program, and in 2017 we saw our first resident graduate!
