Keur Massar Sud : Entre eaux stagnantes et postes de santé démunis, le ras-le-bol général des habitants
In Keur Massar Sud, difficulties accessing basic social services remain a major concern for the population. In this rapidly growing municipality, residents face numerous challenges, particularly in the areas of health, sanitation, education, and sports. This situation has reignited the debate on the need to accelerate public investment in infrastructure.
In the healthcare sector, Keur Massar has three health posts. For the local population, this service remains woefully inadequate given the needs of a municipality experiencing rapid population growth. The lack of equipment and resources also presents an additional challenge. According to Mame Gana, this situation is a major concern for residents, who face conditions that do not always allow for prompt and effective patient care.
Faced with this situation, the local population is demanding that the Fatou Bâ health post be transformed into a health center. They believe this would strengthen medical services and bring healthcare closer to the residents. Beyond the construction of new infrastructure, the community also wants existing facilities to be properly equipped and staffed with sufficient personnel. Having a health post without adequate equipment or sufficient staff is insufficient to fully meet healthcare needs.
In addition to this health problem, there is the issue of flooding: several neighborhoods in Keur Massar Sud remain particularly vulnerable during the rainy season. In some areas, residents report facing difficulties getting around, inaccessible roads, and stagnant water every year. Therefore, the president of the "Fathie Mbebeutou Askan wi" movement is advocating for an expansion of the Progep 2 program so that more neighborhoods can benefit from drainage infrastructure and the necessary flood control measures.
In Keur Aladji Pathé, the residents' observations are similar. Every rainy season, they say they endure a real ordeal. The water that accumulates in certain areas disrupts daily activities and poses a threat to the inhabitants. For the local population, the fight against flooding should not be limited to one-off interventions during the rainy season. They want sustainable solutions based on better urban planning, an appropriate sanitation network, and the construction of infrastructure capable of anticipating the consequences of heavy rainfall.
However, concerns are not limited to health and sanitation. Education and sports feature prominently in residents' demands. The lack of sports and educational infrastructure represents a significant development challenge. Residents are calling for investments in schools, as well as sports fields and equipment. For them, investing in these sectors is tantamount to investing directly in the future of young people. Appropriate school facilities can contribute to improving learning conditions, while local sports facilities can offer young people opportunities for personal growth, socialization, and guidance.
