Situational analysis of the quality of maternal, child, and adolescent health data in the health districts of Thiès, Mbour, Kédougou, and Saraya in Senegal.

Introduction: In Senegal, the Routine Health Information System (RHIS) captures the majority of data from the Ministry of Health and Social Action (MHSA) public structures and very little health data from the private sector and other ministerial departments. Quality data strengthens the validity and reliability of research results. Common areas of data quality include accuracy, completeness, consistency, credibility, and timeliness.

Cardiac pacing: indications, modalities, complications, and challenges (results of a multicenter cross-sectional study in four hospitals in Dakar, Senegal).

Introduction: cardiac pacing is the only lifesaving procedure which is effective for major cardiac conduction disorders. In sub-Saharan Africa, few pacemakers are implanted, compared to Western countries. This study aimed to describe the indications for cardiac pacing in four hospitals in Senegal, to evaluate its practical modalities, to identify pacemaker's complications and their predisposing factors and to evaluate the main challenges for cardiac pacing in Senegal.
