The medical staff will be comprised of four Guinean doctors and that administrative staff of two people, one of whom Italian. There will then be nurses, laboratory and radiography technicians, and service staff, making up a total of 98 people. The supervision of experts from the Community of Sant'Egidio will be ensured. The hospital will be specialised in pneumological diseases with a particular focus on TB, but will also have the ability to treat patients suffering from AIDS. Moreover, the hospital will be equipped to treat the more common diseases in the country such as malnutrition, malaria, skin diseases, parasitic and gastrointestinal infections. The outpatients' departments, functioning as day hospitals, will be of particular importance.
