Politique Nationale De La Sante Communautaire

Ministère de la Santé, République Bénin (2015) C2

Depuis plus de trois décennies, le Bénin a souscrit à l’approche des soins de santé primaires telle que définie à la conférence d’Alma-Ata (1978) et renforcée par l’Initiative de Bamako (1987). Le pays a mis en oeuvre diverses expériences de soins de santé au niveau communautaire ...avec l’appui des Partenaires Techniques et Financiers (PTF) et la participation des Organisations Non Gouvernementales (ONG) et les Organisations Communautaires de Base (OCB). Celles-ci ont contribué à l’amélioration de l’offre des services de santé, malgré l’absence d’une politique coordonnée devant servir de cadre institutionnel à la santé communautaire. A l’étape actuelle du processus de mise en oeuvre de diverses expériences pilotes d’actions communautaires, le Ministère de la Santé s’est engagé dans une réflexion visant l’élaboration d’une politique nationale de santé communautaire. Celle-ci devra servir à encadrer la mise à l’échelle des interventions communautaires qui ont démontré leur efficacité et leur impact sur les populations cibles. Cette réflexion a entraîné la tenue du forum national sur la santé communautaire en Novembre 2013 à Cotonou. Le document de Politique de Santé Communautaire s’arrime au Plan National de Développement Sanitaire à travers lequel le Bénin ambitionne de « disposer en 2025 d’un système de santé performant basé sur des initiatives publiques et privées, individuelles et collectives, pour l’offre et la disponibilité permanente de soins de qualité, équitable et accessible aux populations de toutes catégories, fondées sur les valeurs de solidarité et de partage du risque pour répondre à l’ensemble des besoins de santé du peuple béninois » Dans le présent document, il est défini une vision, des priorités et des stratégies pour les dix prochaines années en santé communautaire. La principale innovation réside dans la conception et la mise en place au niveau de chaque village et quartier de ville de la composante locale du système national de santé (CoLoSS) en partenariat avec toutes les parties prenantes. Le document précise les conditions requises et les mesures d’accompagnement pour la réussite de la nouvelle politique dans le sens de l’autonomisation (empowerment) progressive des populations. more

Cardiovascular diseases in Africa in the twenty-first century: Gaps and priorities going forward

Minja, N.W.; Nakagaayi, D.; Aliku, T. et al. Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine (2022) CC

In 2015, the United Nations set important targets to reduce premature cardiovascular disease (CVD) deaths by 33% by 2030. Africa disproportionately bears the brunt of CVD burden and has one of the highest risks of dying from non-communicable diseases (NCDs) worldwide. There is currently an epide...miological transition on the continent, where NCDs is projected to outpace communicable diseases within the current decade. Unchecked increases in CVD risk factors have contributed to the growing burden of three major CVDs—hypertension, cardiomyopathies, and atherosclerotic diseasesleading to devastating rates of stroke and heart failure. The highest age standardized disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) due to hypertensive heart disease (HHD) were recorded in Africa. The contributory causes of heart failure are changing—whilst HHD and cardiomyopathies still dominate, ischemic heart disease is rapidly becoming a significant contributor, whilst rheumatic heart disease (RHD) has shown a gradual decline. In a continent where health systems are traditionally geared toward addressing communicable diseases, several gaps exist to adequately meet the growing demand imposed by CVDs. Among these, high-quality research to inform interventions, underfunded health systems with high out-of-pocket costs, limited accessibility and affordability of essential medicines, CVD preventive services, and skill shortages. Overall, the African continent progress toward a third reduction in premature mortality come 2030 is lagging behind. More can be done in the arena of effective policy implementation for risk factor reduction and CVD prevention, increasing health financing and focusing on strengthening primary health care services for prevention and treatment of CVDs, whilst ensuring availability and affordability of quality medicines. Further, investing in systematic country data collection and research outputs will improve the accuracy of the burden of disease data and inform policy adoption on interventions. This review summarizes the current CVD burden, important gaps in cardiovascular medicine in Africa, and further highlights priority areas where efforts could be intensified in the next decade with potential to improve the current rate of progress toward achieving a 33% reduction in CVD mortality. more
