Senegal's National Supply Pharmacy (PNA) has between 19 and 20 billion CFA francs in unpaid receivables from the health facilities it supplies. Health and Public Hygiene Minister Ibrahima Sy linked the arrears to supply difficulties during the RFM programme “Grand Jury” on Sunday 18 October 2026.
The PNA supplies hospitals, health centres and posts, as well as national programmes to combat malaria, tuberculosis and cancer. It also has to pay its suppliers to maintain deliveries, while trade unions are warning that its cash position is under strain, the minister said.
