Rapport Biennal 2024–2025 de l’OMS au Burkina – Des avancées majeures pour la résilience sanitaire et l’accès aux soins
The World Health Organization’s (WHO) 2024–2025 biennial report for Burkina Faso showcases significant progress in health outcomes, even amidst complex security, humanitarian, and climatic adversities.
A pivotal achievement includes the nationwide rollout of the malaria vaccine across all 70 health districts, marking a crucial step in malaria prevention and safeguarding children’s health. Additionally, the WHO PEN package has been implemented in six health districts, enhancing integrated care for non-communicable diseases (NCDs) within primary healthcare settings.
A significant policy development during this biennium is the enactment of an anti-tobacco decree, which prohibits smoking in public spaces and on public transport. This underscores the nation’s commitment to public health promotion and mitigating avoidable risk factors.
Sustained interventions supported by WHO have yielded extensive results in the fight against malaria: more than 5 million children received seasonal malaria chemoprevention, and approximately 15 million insecticide-treated mosquito nets were distributed nationwide.
In vulnerable and hard-to-reach regions, WHO played a vital role in maintaining essential health services by establishing advanced health posts and mobile clinics. Furthermore, 58 tons of crucial medicines and medical supplies were delivered to benefit at-risk communities.
The report also highlights foundational advancements in health information systems, notably the introduction of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11) in four reference hospitals. This represents a critical stride toward enhancing data quality, improving mortality surveillance, and fostering evidence-based decision-making.
These accomplishments collectively underscore Burkina Faso’s progress in building a resilient health system, fortifying service delivery, and safeguarding its population. They also delineate strategic priorities for consolidation in upcoming programmatic phases.
