As of 2019, about 131 hospitals and diagnostic imaging centers were functioning in Senegal. Currently,
around 7% of them are equipped to provide tertiary care services. The number is expected to rise in the
next 3-4 years, as the country continues to invest in improving healthcare access. Between 2018-2019,
the Government added close to 1,000 beds in the cities of Touba, Kaffrine, Sedhiou and Kedougou, along
with improved procurement of high-end medical equipment for diagnostics and surgical interventions.
This growth was part of their “Plan Sénégal Emergent” (PSE) – a major investment exercise dedicated to
drive economic transformation.
