Senegal — Insurance

Standard single-trip or annual policies cover Senegal without special riders; check that medical evacuation is included, since complex cases go to Europe. Dakar has some of the best private clinics in Francophone West Africa, concentrated on the Plateau and around Almadies, where confidential STI testing and PEP are available. The public health system runs low-cost STI services connected to the sex-worker registration regime, so testing infrastructure is comparatively good by regional standards.

Take malaria precautions seriously, especially for Casamance and travel in the rainy season (roughly July-October); prophylaxis plus repellent is the standard advice.
