Coming soon.
Mr. Kebba Manneh · CEO, Bwiam General Hospital
Hospital Leadership
Kebba Manneh is a healthcare leader whose career has been defined by a commitment to maternal and child health in some of The Gambia's most underserved communities.
Trained as a midwife, Mr. Manneh spent 13 years as CEO of Bundung Hospital, where he dedicated himself to building partnerships, developing educational pipelines, and establishing the institution as the leading provider of maternal and child health care in the centralized Kombo region.
In 2023, Mr. Manneh was appointed CEO of Bwiam General Hospital — The Gambia's largest rural hospital. He brings with him a deep understanding of what it takes to build lasting, community-centered health systems, and a clear vision: to make Bwiam General Hospital the first reliable source of care for mothers and children across The Gambia's rural communities.
Mr. Manneh has been a central partner in the development of Dimbaya's programming and has been instrumental in shaping the structure and focus of our student internship program.
