Project of primary maternity
health care centre in Koupela
Country: Burkina
Faso
Place: Koupela
Section: Health care
Financial source: Private funds
Duration: 1 year
Local situation:
Burkina Faso is one out most starved country in the
world where the individual annual income is about 100
dollars. This means that each family can spend for its
health no more than 1 dollar a year.
In Burkina Faso 1 dollar is sufficient for buying 25
chilograms of millet that can feed a ten person family
for one month. In many families the question is how
to use the one dollar, to feeding or for treating malaria
of one child.
The absurdity of such a choice shows the priority that
rich countries should devote to health and food problems
of underdeveloped countries.
This why a project to improve base health care structures
in those countries seems to meet their needs.
Aims:
1. Feasibility study
2. Extimation of utilization area
3. Improvement of the ambulatories at the maternity
department of Koupethe (Camilliane nuns)
4. Training of laboratory personnel
5. Laboratory enlargement
6. Shipment of pharmaceutical wares an consumption materials
Forecast outsourced personnel:
- one nurse
- one laboratory technician
