About Sami College

At Sami College, our mission is to improve health services in the Gambia. We want to deliver a quality, affordable, accessible, integrated health service, sustained by technically competent, trained, and aspiring youth professionals. This includes outreach coverage for hard-to-reach, marginalised, disadvantaged communities, creating optimal satisfaction at the lowest cost possible. Get in touch today to discover more.

The Problem

Two of the most serious challenges in the Gambian health sector are service delivery and scope of outreach. This is partly due to a lack of solution-driven policy instruments. Outside of treatment, private-sector involvement is required to remedy this.
But while existing private interventions are commercially motivated, the cost of medication is not sustainable in a low-income population with a heavy dependency on sole breadwinners. Therefore, we require a diverse, solution-driven response to these critical challenges.
As a key stakeholder in health service delivery, we focus on providing sustainable remedies for service users. We target disadvantaged, hard-to-reach, and marginalised communities while striving to build the enabling human capital reserve needed to meet various health service delivery needs.

Our Aims and Vision

  • To Provide Innovative Result-Oriented Teaching and Coaching in Health Education
  • To Develop the Technical Skills of Self-Motivate Nurses and Health Professionals and Prepare Them for a Highly Demanding Working Environment
  • To Satisfy Demand for Competent, Well-Prepared Nurses, Healthcare Professionals, and Medical Staff in the Healthcare Market
  • To Save Parents, Guardians, and Governments the Cost of Sending Students to Study Overseas

Our Motivation

Currently, The Gambia only has three hospitals, 36 health facilities, and 492 primary care facilities (health posts). This is financially and logistically inadequate next to the high rate of population growth, high attrition rates, and a shortage of appropriately trained health staff. There are also high levels of poverty and low literacy.
By transferring skills to young men and women who want to become healthcare professionals in The Gambia and other parts of Africa, we hope to ease the burden of healthcare. We established Sami College to provide solutions to these problems.l

Our Core Values

Upholding the highest ethical standards, we respect people and communities by preserving individual privacy in the provision of dignified one-to-one personal health care.
