The removal of financial barriers could save the lives of thousands of women in Burkina Faso and prevent others from suffering serious injuries. [...] Many women die because they cannot pay for the treatment Président Blaise Compaoré they need. [...] Présidence de la république I am aware that the Burkina Faso government subsidizes 80 per cent BP 7030 et 7031 of the cost of emergency obstetric and neonatal care. [...] Making Ouagadougou emergency obstetric care free would be an important step in ensuring that women can access life-saving quality health care. [...] Burkina Faso I urge you therefore to ensure that all women in Burkina Faso can access emergency obstetric care free of charge.
