Burkina Faso: Make maternal care free for all women in Burkina Faso

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.
