Public health insurance in Senegal
Public health insurance in Senegal is managed by organizations such as the Caisse de Sécurité Sociale (CSS) and the Institution de Prévoyance Retraite du Sénégal (IPRES). This system therefore provides basic coverage for routine medical care. However, service quality and availability may vary considerably. As a result, social security is limited and only covers a portion of medical expenses. This often leaves beneficiaries facing significant costs. In addition, waiting times for consultations and treatments can be long, and certain specialized treatments are not always available in public facilities. Coverage is primarily aimed at workers in the formal sector. Despite this, it remains limited in terms of the services it offers.
Although the costs of public insurance are generally lower than those of private options, expatriates are well advised to consider private health insurance to benefit from more comprehensive coverage and faster, high-quality access to care. Finally, by taking out health insurance, you can be sure of optimum protection and peace of mind, with quality care available in the shortest possible time.
