Feeling Unwell in Senegal Today?
For a non-emergency problem you can describe on camera, you can see a doctor online from anywhere in Senegal: Pomodoc's €40 video consultations are in English, which matters in a French-speaking country.
A fever is the exception. TravelHealthPro classes Senegal as a high-risk malaria country, so if you develop a fever after spending time in an area where malaria is a risk, seek prompt in-person medical assessment rather than relying on a video consultation. In an emergency, call 15.
- Video from your phone, tablet or laptop
- In English, not French
- €40, shown before you book
- From a hotel, guesthouse or lodge
Where Video Helps in Senegal, and Where It Does Not
FCDO describes medical facilities in Dakar as reasonable and those in the rest of Senegal as limited. Where you are changes what a sensible first step looks like.
Needs in-person or emergency care
- a fever after time in an area where malaria is a risk
- an emergency: call 15 and ask for an ambulance
- anything a doctor has said needs an examination or a test
FCDO advises adequate travel health insurance and accessible funds for treatment and repatriation, and says to contact your insurer quickly if you are referred to a medical facility.
Suits a video consultation
- a stomach upset, sore throat, or a skin, ear or eye problem you can show
- a question about the medicines you travelled with
- deciding whether a trip back to Dakar to be seen is necessary
- a conversation in English rather than French
A Pomodoc video consultation is €40, with an English-speaking doctor, wherever you are in Senegal.
If you need to be examined, the doctor will tell you so.
Your consultation runs on Air Doctor's ISO‑certified platform (ISO/IEC 27001 & ISO 27799 for health data). See our security & certifications.

More About Online Doctors in Senegal
Malaria, dengue and the other mosquito risks
TravelHealthPro says there is a high risk of malaria in Senegal. FCDO lists dengue, Zika virus, yellow fever and Rift Valley fever among the health risks and points to TravelHealthPro for vaccine and prevention advice before you travel.
TravelHealthPro says anyone with a fever after travel to a malaria risk area should be evaluated urgently for malaria. That is in-person care, not a video consultation.
Medicines and UK prescriptions
FCDO says you will find pharmacies that accept UK prescriptions in major cities, and points to the NHS for whether you can take your medicine abroad. Outside the main cities, bring enough of what you need.
Insurance and the distance from Dakar
FCDO describes medical facilities in Dakar as reasonable and limited in the rest of Senegal, and advises adequate travel health insurance and accessible funds to cover treatment and repatriation.
A Pomodoc consultation is a fixed €40 for the video consultation. It is not insurance and does not replace it.
