description
The facility began as a health center in 1983 and was extensively modernized in 1998 under the government of Yahya Jammeh to become the third main hospital at the time. It was one of the larger projects of the Armed Forces Provisional Ruling Council (AFPRC) military junta to modernize the country after the coup. Before that, patients had to visit the Royal Victoria Teaching Hospital in the capital, Banjul , 170 kilometers away . With around 250 beds, it now ensures medical care on the northern bank of the Gambia as far as the neighboring country of Senegal .
The building complex is located on a 36,000 m² site directly on North Bank Road , Gambia's most important trunk road in the north.
In May 2017, under the Adama Barrow administration, the AFPRC General Hospital was renamed Farafenni General Hospital.
