1 MSF PAEDIATRIC DAYS - DAKAR 2017 GENERAL INFORMATION

2 PRIOR TO YOUR ARRIVAL VISA PROCEDURES Before travelling to Dakar, Senegal; please verify that the visa requirements specific to your nationality are all in order. It is your responsibility to ensure that your nationality is not included in the list of countries requiring an entry visa to Senegal. For more detailed information, click here. HEALTH CARE PLAN Make sure that you are up-to-date on routine vaccines before your trip. The yellow fever vaccination is strongly recommended and mandatory for travelers coming from affected countries. Malaria is a serious concern throughout Senegal, nevertheless the endemic risk assessment made by the medical referee for the month of December is particularly low. Dakar, being located in the northern part of Senegal, the malaria transmission rate remains relatively low and lasts less than four months, with December being out of season. Nevertheless, we recommend everyone to take precautions. For more information, click here. If you are under medical treatment, be sure to bring the medicines that you will be needing during your stay, as well as a copy of your medical prescription. We strongly recommend that you do not drink tap water in Senegal. In case of medical emergency, please contact SOS Médecins on (+221) , available 24h / 24h. The cost of a hotel visit is FCFA during the day, with an additional fee in case of night visit. If you happen to be in town and are in need medical care, please visit the following hospital: Hopital Principal de Dakar 1, Avenue Nelson Mandela Plateau, DAKAR For urgent matters or in case of hospitalization, please contact Laurent HIFFLER, Pediatric Reference on (+221) WEATHER The month of December is one of the cooler months of the year, with an average temperature between 22 and 30 C.
