Burkina Faso has obtained financing from the Islamic Development Bank (IDB) to implement a project to strengthen primary healthcare in order to improve health and nutrition. At an estimated cost of FCFA 16.38 billion, the IDB contributed FCFA 15.37 billion.
This sum will be used to build and equip 25 health and social promotion centers (CSPS), 100 community health posts and set up 15 mobile clinics for internally displaced people.
The project will be implemented in the health regions of Cascades, Hauts-Bassins, Centre-Sud and East Burkina Faso. The aim of the project is to contribute to the reduction of maternal, neonatal and child morbidity and mortality, as well as inequalities in access to quality healthcare, by 2026.
