Structures sanitaires au Sénégal : déficit de près de 950 médecins spécialistes
"The state of health facilities in Senegal is very worrying. Hospital infrastructure is obsolete, with faulty electrical and sanitation systems, resulting in very high risks of fire and nosocomial infections." This is the observation of the national vice-president of SOS Consommateurs, El-Hadji Ciré Balley Diallo, responsible for education, health and social affairs.
According to him, level 1, 2 and 3 hospitals urgently require serious rehabilitation. He cites key problems around the "lack of beds and qualified staff"; and the "unequal distribution of health services: specialized services, particularly in cardiology, oncology and neurosurgery, are concentrated in the regions of Dakar, Thiès and Diourbel to the detriment of other very under-equipped regions."
Shortage of specialist doctors
Our country, believes the national vice-president of SOS Consommateurs, must fill a deficit of nearly 950 specialist doctors, particularly in cancerology, neurosurgery and anesthesia-resuscitation.
Poor resource management
According to El-Hadji Ciré Balley Diallo, "misappropriation of funds has been observed, such as that of 42.5 million FCFA in the framework of the PASME project in Kolda", financed by the French Development Agency.
Low share of the national budget
The Vice President is outraged by the fact that "only 9% of the national budget is allocated, a percentage well below the 15% recommended at the community level." He denounces the recurring strikes, the poor reception, the irresponsible behavior of certain agents, the unjustified and abusive amount of entry tickets and other fees, and the serious administrative errors without real sanctions.
Still on the worrying situation of health structures in Senegal, the national vice-president of SOS Consommateurs does not fail to mention "the absenteeism, the lateness of certain agents who work in private clinics where patients are often referred."

Créez plus de bourses pour les spécialisations en déficit, nous voulons bien nous spécialiser mais les gens ont des familles à nourrir, 4 ou 5 ans de plus sans salaires ce n'est pas possible
Pourquoi le Sénégalais a une vision binaire ? Durant son magistère Macky a construit des hôpitaux à Sédhiou, Kédougou , Kaffrine, Touba, Tivaouane, Matam , à Dakar (CHU Le DANTEC, Polyclinique du PRINCIPAL, Mère et Enfant, Oncologie ) . Donc faire un diagnostic tout sombre , si ce n'est noir, du système hospitalier sénégalais c'est voir le verre à moitié vide
Son diagnostic n’est pas sincere. Dans un centre de santé à Dakar il y a plus de spécialistes que dans certaines régions. Les spécialités comme la chirurgie thoracique n’existe qu’à Dakar alors qu’on en forme pour la sous region
ce chiffre est inquiétant
