Our story

Born from the hospital reform

In 2014, following the hospital reform aimed at modernizing the Algerian healthcare system, SINAL created a team dedicated exclusively to medical simulators.

A dedicated team, including

Medical doctor-engineer
Technical sales
Medical simulators project manager
Simulation center projects

Why simulation?

No risk to patients
Gestures and scenarios are practised on simulators before real patients.
Repeat until mastered
A scenario can be replayed as often as needed.
Debrief and improve
Each session can be reviewed together to learn from it.

Our missions

Three missions, one goal

Deliver to each faculty of medicine a complete solution adapted to its needs: a multidisciplinary medical simulation center.

Design and set up simulation centers
With deans of faculties of medicine and their teams, following current international standards.
- Presentation days on the simulator range and on how to build a simulation center (premises, human resources, simulation tools)
- Collecting technical needs and turning them into a technical and commercial proposal
- A tailor-made simulation center

Support and respond to requests
We support our clients and respond to their requests.
- Studying national and international calls for tenders
- Prospecting suppliers and product ranges for the best quality/price ratio

Connect and train
We connect our clients with manufacturers of simulators and medical devices.
- Assistance during the online and on-site training sessions offered by the suppliers
- For optimal and lasting use of the equipment

Project maturation

Every center goes through a maturation phase

Because of the resources involved, every simulation center project goes through a maturation phase. Here is the journey we follow with each faculty.

High-fidelity simulation room

A realistic clinical setting where teams manage scenarios on patient simulators.

From plan to reality

From 3D design to finished rooms

Each center is designed in 3D before it is built and equipped: here, the design of the Batna center, and rooms from centers we delivered.

From task trainers to virtual reality

Simulators range from simple task trainers to immersive virtual reality; a center combines several levels.

GestureImmersion

New faculty annexes

Equipping the new faculty of medicine annexes

The health system reform, which includes improving training, led the authorities to open several faculty of medicine annexes across the country. SINAL is committed to equipping these new annexes as a strategic partner.

Supply of innovative medical simulation equipment

Integration of smart solutions

Personalized technical support

Skills transfer and training

Our ambition

To contribute to better care, to the modernization of the health system, and to high-performing, reliable and sustainable medical training environments.
