Health in Senegal

Health in Senegal

Several hospitals and clinics in the capital, Dakar, can treat major and minor injuries and illnesses. There is inadequate inpatient psychiatric care, though there is very good office-based psychiatry. There are no facilities in Senegal that are at the level of Western European hospitals or U.S. community hospitals. Medical facilities outside Dakar are limited.

Medications may be obtained at pharmacies throughout Dakar and in other areas frequented by tourists. [http://www.buyusa.gov/westafrica/en/senegal_ccg.pdf Senegal Country Commercial Guide 2008] . U.S. Commercial Service (2008). PD-notice]
