How a supply‐side intervention can help to increase caesarean section rates in Burkina Faso facilities—Evidence from an interrupted time‐series analysis using routine health data
Marion Ravit, Julia Lohmann, Alexandre Dumont, Charles Kabore, Jean-Louis Koulidiati, Manuela De Allegri
Objectives
In Burkina Faso, only 2.1% of women give birth by caesarean section (CS). To improve the use of maternal health services during pregnancy and childbirth, many interventions were implemented during the 2010s including performance-based financing (PBF) and a free maternal health care policy (the gratuité). The objective of this study(...)

Le sésame constitue le deuxième produit d’exportation agricole au Burkina Faso mais sa qualité n’est pas toujours satisfaisante à cause de la présence d’impuretés et parfois de microorganismes pathogènes notamment les salmonelles. La présente étude a pour objectif d’évaluer la prévalence des salmonelles dans le sésame et ses produits dérivés.(...)
