Dans le contexte de la pandémie de Covid, l’autosoin est apparu comme une approche pratique et importante permettant de réduire la pression sur les systèmes de santé mis à rude épreuve, de réduire les inégalités d'accès à la santé et d'améliorer les résultats en matière de santé, en particulier pour les plus vulnérables. Promouvoir l’autosoin à travers un fort engagement des différentes parties prenantes de la santé, y compris le secteur privé et public peut se révéler fructueux au Sénégal. Et, un accompagnement adéquat à la pratique de l’autosoin peut aider les gens à gérer leur propre santé et permettre aux systèmes d'être mieux équipés pour atteindre la couverture sanitaire universelle (CMU).
