Senior health technicians will strike nationwide in Senegal from October 15 to 16; expect significant disruptions to public health services.

Incident Details

The Autonomous Union of Senior Health Technicians (SATSUS) called for the strike in response to the government’s continued failure to act on the reclassification of senior health technicians, despite having previously signed agreements on the matter. The strike will occur for 48 hours and is expected to affect major hospitals and healthcare institutions across the country. Consequently, substantial disruptions to public health services are anticipated until the strike concludes.

Traveler Safety

Travelers are advised to contact nearby healthcare facilities in advance to inquire about expected strike-related impacts. Travelers should also monitor local media for further updates.
