DK Telecom & Tanka Tanka: Powering Mental Health Support

Tanka Tanka is The Gambia’s only state psychiatric hospital, a place where determined staff face the immense challenge of caring for individuals and families living with mental health conditions. Their work is essential, yet they often do so with limited resources and under immense pressure.

At DK Telecom, we believe our contribution should go beyond business. That is why, as part of our corporate social responsibility, we provide free internet access to Tanka Tanka. For us, this is the foundation of helping the hospital function more smoothly so staff can focus on what matters most: patient care.

The difference is felt every day. Administrative work becomes easier and less time-consuming. Communication flows more quickly between departments, strengthening teamwork. And most importantly, patients receive more attentive care, as staff are able to dedicate more time to them.

We see our role not only as a service provider, but as a partner in easing the burden of those who give so much of themselves for others. Connecting Tanka Tanka, means helping to strengthen mental health care acrossthe country supporting the hospital, its staff, and ultimately, the communities they serve.
