The SIM Galmi Hospital is a not-for-profit institution and our objective is to provide compassionate care in the name of Jesus. Niger is one of the least developed nations on our planet with a high majority of citizens who live below the poverty line. This means that many of the services we offer to our patients must be subsidized with external funding, or it would not be possible for us to provide certain aspects of care.
SIM International hosts specific projects that allow us to receive funding from individual donors. These donations make our work possible. Please check out our projects below.
Since 1950, the SIM Galmi Hospital has been serving Nigeriens and has been a bridge for the Gospel in this country of over 25 million people. Our patients often travel great distances to come to Galmi for treatment, because of our far reaching reputation.

The CREN (Centre de Réhabilitation et Education Nutritionnel) is our nutritional rehab centre for malnourished children under the age of five. Founded at the SIM Galmi Hospital in 1991, it was the only centre of its kind in the country. Only in 2005 did MSF (Doctors without Borders) establish a nationwide CREN program.

Since 1950, Galmi Hospital has been providing acute medical and surgical care for thousands of patients each year. However, the hospital was unable to provide restorative care in the domain of physical therapy, which significantly limits the healing process for many.
