[4] A 1991 study at the hospitals in Guinea found that the main causes of maternal death were abortion complications, which were linked with hypertension, and postpartum bleeding.

[6] A study at the hospital showed high rates of sexually transmitted diseases among pregnant women including Candidosis (28.76%), Vaginal Trichomoniasis (13.88%), Chlamydia trachomatis (3.37%), HIV (2.38%), Syphilis (0.99%) and Gonococcus (0.40%).

[8] Since 2017, the Ignace Deen Hospital has been the primary site for several studies examining neurological health in low-income settings.

[9] Neurological research at Ignace Deen Hospital has focused on epilepsy and included investigations of traditional healing in the country,[10] smartphone-based diagnostic tools,[11] school status and educational attainment,[12] and autonomous delivery of antiepileptic drugs.

Additional findings include that traditional healing is nearly universally accessed prior to conventional medicine, and that epilepsy poses a particularly severe burden for children by hampering educational attainment.

[22] On Independence Day 2009, several thousand people staged a demonstration against the military rule of Captain Moussa Dadis Camara outside the Conakry Grand Mosque.

[24] An International Commission of Inquiry was established to investigate the violence, taking evidence from doctors at Ignace Deen who had given first aid and had heard the firsthand accounts of the victims.

[25] In October 2010, several supporters of the presidential candidate Alpha Condé were admitted to Ignace Deen hospital complaining that they had been poisoned by Fulani.

When the hospital director Mme Hadja Fatoumata Binta Diallo said the Condé supporters were in no danger and no deaths had occurred, Prime Minister Jean Marie Doré suspended her for making speculative statements before a full medical analysis had been completed.

[26] After two weeks, the victims were visited by a team of traditional healers from Upper Guinea who performed gestures and incantations that caused them to immediately return to health.
