Summary: The quality of medical care in Senegal is generally considered to be lower than in the United States. Emergency services are limited and often lack the necessary resources to provide adequate care. To call for an ambulance, one must contact the local fire department or police station.

How are healthcare services Senegal?

When we asked expats and global nomads about the quality of medical care in Senegal, they replied:

"Healthcare services in Senegal are provided by both public and private institutions. The public healthcare system is managed by the Ministry of Health and Social Action and is funded by the government. The public healthcare system provides basic medical services, including primary care, preventive care, and emergency services. The quality of public healthcare in Senegal is generally considered to be adequate, although there are some areas where the quality of care is lacking. Foreign residents in Senegal have access to the public healthcare system, although they may need to pay for some services. Expats in Senegal typically use the public healthcare system for basic medical services, such as primary care and preventive care. However, they may opt to use private healthcare services for more specialized medical care," said one expat living in Senegal.
