Senegal

Child mortality, maternal death, malaria and sexual diseases (incl. AIDS) are the main health problems in Senegal. The health system is relatively well organised compared to many African nations, although much disease is caused by poor sanitation and living conditions. The healthcare system also suffers from a high level of corruption.

No tariffs are levied on medicines in Senegal.
