Carrefour Médical

What Carrefour Médical does

Carrefour Médical is a Senegalese medical equipment distribution, integration, and manufacturing company headquartered in Dakar and operating as a subsidiary of the diversified conglomerate Groupe COSEMAD. The company specializes in study, consulting, and supply of medical equipment, materials, and consumables, delivering turnkey projects that span equipment sourcing, installation, commissioning, staff training, and a 24/7 reactive after-sales service. Its customer base is overwhelmingly public-sector: national and regional hospitals across Senegal, plus expanding operations in Mali, Burkina Faso, Benin, Guinea, and Mauritania, with commercial relationships anchored by the Senegalese Ministry of Health and Social Action.

The product portfolio spans VPSA oxygen generation plants, hemodialysis centers, medical imaging systems (radiology, digitization, mammography — installed base of 500+ units in partnership with Fujifilm), radiotherapy linear accelerators (via Varian), emergency and ICU equipment, ophthalmology devices, dental cabinet installations, and biomedical waste (DASRI) treatment units. The company has added an industrial-manufacturing leg through its subsidiary Carrefour Médical Industries, which operates an ISO 13485-certified plant in Pout (52 km from Dakar) producing four core dialysis consumables — dialysate concentrate, disinfectant, and sodium bicarbonate in cartridge and sachet formats — at a stated capacity of 2 million components per year, the first such facility in West Africa.

Carrefour Médical monetizes through equipment and consumables hardware sales, professional services (installation, training, 24/7 maintenance), and increasingly through locally manufactured dialysis consumables. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting government hospitals, supported by participation in healthcare industry events (SISDAK, Forum Galien Afrique, RESHAOC, SENPHARMA) and a public-relations engine that produces high-level political engagement, including the August 2025 NIPRO and Renmed MOU signings at TICAD 9 and the Senegal-Turkey Business Forum.
