Santé : Une grève de 72 heures sans service minimum annoncée
The social climate is expected to be particularly tense in Senegal's healthcare sector. Several unions, now united in a common front, have unveiled a new action plan that marks a significant escalation of their protest movement. At the heart of this offensive strategy is a 72-hour strike scheduled for April 8, 9, and 10, 2026. This work stoppage will be accompanied by rigorous boycott measures and a broad nationwide mobilization campaign.
According to the official statement, this strike will be particularly radical, as emergency services will be provided without any minimum level of care. This unprecedented decision could paralyze most of the country's public healthcare system. This deliberate choice reflects the union members' unwavering determination to have their demands heard, after several months of fruitless tensions with the relevant authorities.
Alongside the suspension of care, the organizations are announcing a systematic boycott of all administrative and technical activities. The call to action specifically targets coordination meetings, staff sessions, and all supervisory activities. This measure aims to cripple the internal functioning of the healthcare system, going far beyond simply interrupting medical services.
The movement also plans to be active throughout April 2026 with a major national information and mobilization tour. This initiative will take the form of general assemblies organized in different regions of the country to raise awareness among healthcare workers and strengthen unity around the struggle. Through this ninth action plan, the unions intend to maintain constant pressure on the government to obtain concrete responses to their demands.
This new standoff comes in an already fragile health context, where users unfortunately risk being the first victims of a conflict that seems to be settling in for the long term.
