About CURE Children’s Hospital of Niger
Established in 2010, CURE Niger is the seventh out of eight hospitals in the CURE International Children’s Hospital network. It is the only hospital in the country of over 24 million that offers specialty surgical care for children with treatable physical disabilities. Its location was chosen because it is central to one of the most underdeveloped regions in the world. Strategically located in Niamey, CURE Niger is a children’s hospital offering 58 beds, two operating rooms, and a full range of high-demand ancillary and rehabilitation services. The hospital provides over 1,400 life-changing reconstructive and orthopedic surgeries each year. In addition to world-class clinical service, CURE Niger ministers to the emotional and spiritual needs of patients and their communities.
