Who to succeed Aliou Sall?
The successor of Aliou Sall at the head of the Association of Mayors of Senegal (Ams) will be known next week on the occasion of the day of decentralization which will be chaired by the Head of State. We have already announced the candidacies of Woury Baïlo Diallo mayor of Vélingara, of Oumar Ba mayor of Ndiob, of Abdou Khadre Ndiaye of Gaya and El hadj Malick Gaye Dg of Agetip and mayor Ndiandane. If in the cottages, it is said that Aliou Sall is campaigning for the mayor of Gaya, Abdou Khare Ndiaye, other sources confide that Oumar Bâ de Ndiob is well placed as he would be the candidate of the boss. Only, it would be frowned upon for the President of the Republic to be from Fatick and for the mayors to also be from the same region. For many mayors, the CEO of Agetip presents the best profile. Except that he needs the approval of the Head of State to present himself. Or … In any case, Thursday, December 8, the page of Aliou Sall will be turned

AIDS: 12 patients lost sight of at the Diourbel health center
A total of twelve AIDS patients, under treatment at the Sidi Guissé Health Center in Diourbel, are currently lost to sight, we learned on Thursday from social worker Maty Thiam Dieng. From July to September 2022, we are at 12 patients lost to follow-up out of a total of 114 patients on antiretroviral treatment, at the Sidi Guissé Health Center, said Ms. Dieng, also data manager of the HIV / AIDS program of the health district of Diourbel. She was speaking during an interview with APS as part of World AIDS Day. Those lost to follow-up, she said, are patients with HIV / AIDS, on antiretroviral treatment and who have been absent for 28 days after their last appointment. To find these people, we try to get in touch with them by phone or through home visits, she explained. According to her, in general, it is difficult to find them because they often give false addresses or false telephone numbers. However, she noted, some return to the center after a prolonged absence. The manager specified that among the 114 patients under treatment at the Sidi Guissé Health Center, there are five children, 85 women and 25 men. The social worker said that the average age of the 114 people affected and followed at the Sidi Guissé center varies from 35 to 45 years in general. According to her, when a sick subject respects the treatment, accepts the treatment and the disease early, he can live to a very advanced age. But the problem, according to Ms. Dieng, is that sufferers hide because of the stigma, even though it is a chronic disease like other chronic diseases.
