Access to Care for Retirees in Saly: A Study by Mohamadou Samb on Health Infrastructure

Mohamadou Samb, a researcher at the University of Caen Normandy, has identified major shortcomings in access to care for aging populations in Saly, Senegal. His thesis, defended in 2025, highlights the challenges of adapting health infrastructure in the face of the increasing number of elderly European residents, emphasizing the urgency of improving these services.

Tourist development in Saly raises questions about access to care for aging populations, particularly European residents. These individuals, often facing increased medical needs, encounter inadequate health infrastructure. Chronic diseases and preventive care are major concerns, making it crucial to examine the available health services for this clientele.

Mohamadou Samb analyzed the health infrastructure in Saly and revealed that it does not meet the expectations of aging populations. Although WHO studies show an increased prevalence of chronic diseases among the elderly, current health services are not able to effectively support them, highlighting a scientific barrier to overcome.

The results of this research imply a need for improvement in health infrastructure to meet the needs of aging populations. Decision-makers must consider investments in tailored services while establishing local partnerships to ensure the quality of care. This represents a significant growth opportunity in the care market in Saly.
