ABSTRACT
Introduction. In Guinea, there is little information available on patients' perceptions of the healthcare they receive. The aim of this study was to take stock of patient satisfaction with the quality of the healthcare system in Guinea Conakry. Methodology. This was a descriptive, cross-sectional study from 22 July to 23 October 2023 of patients and accompanying persons undergoing consultations at the Ambroise Paré clinic in Guinea. A questionnaire administered to clinic users at reception was used. Results. We surveyed 160 users, 94% of whom were male. The average age of the participants was 35. 94% of patients were satisfied with the reception service. The main factors associated with satisfaction were the courtesy of the health workers (96%), the time taken to complete administrative formalities (90%), the affordable prices of consultations (94%) and the strict confidentiality of patients (98%). Among those who were dissatisfied, the reason given was the length of waiting time (20%). Conclusion. Overall, patients/carers were satisfied with the welcome they received at the Ambroise Paré clinic. It is nonetheless important to improve the reception and sorting service in the emergency department. This cannot be achieved without the involvement and training of reception staff and the improvement of their working conditions.
