Sousse: CHU Sahloul modernizes with 200 new beds

The CHU Sahloul in Sousse unveiled a first delivery of 200 medical beds on Wednesday, bringing the total number planned in the framework of a major modernization project to 313. This key step aims to transform patient accommodation conditions and strengthen the quality of care, responding to the growing needs of the regional population. The new beds, equipped with alert and care management systems, will help improve the safety and efficiency of medical interventions. The project, partly funded by national funds, fits within a broader effort to enhance the hospital’s capacity, a cornerstone of Tunisian healthcare. This initiative adds to recent upgrades at the CHU, including the renovation of examination rooms and the expansion of intensive care units. Dr. Ahmed Ben Salah, the hospital’s director, emphasized that these investments aim to reduce waiting times and provide a more humane patient experience. With nearly 1,500 beds in total, the CHU Sahloul remains a major player in Tunisian healthcare, serving a population of over 2 million people. The reception of these 200 beds marks an important step toward modernizing Tunisia’s healthcare infrastructure. The project, expected to be completed by 2025, is part of a national plan aimed at improving access to care and reducing regional inequalities. These investments, combined with ongoing staff training, aim to position the CHU Sahloul as a model of quality and innovation in the Tunisian healthcare sector.
