Projections made by the technicians reveal that the digitization of the care sheet could contribute to a drastic reduction in the bill linked to free care.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Since its implementation, the State budget has spent an average of 28 to 30 billion CFA francs on its implementation. But with the implementation of the electronic care sheet, we expect to reduce this bill to around 20 to 21 billion. This should enable us to extend the range of free healthcare services&#8221;. Dr Lucien KARGOUGOU.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">COS_GFS is a multi-sectoral committee comprising five (05) ministerial departments.
