Queuille, L., & Ridde, V. (2013). User fees exemption: one step on the path toward universal access to healthcare. Pilot experience in Burkina Faso (DVD).
In 2008, the regional health department (RHD) of the Sahel region in Burkina Faso and the German NGO HELP, funded by the European Community Humanitarian Office (ECHO), decided to experiment with user fee exemptions for children under five years of age and pregnant and nursing women. The objectives of this initiative were to provide healthcare services to vulnerable populations and to improve the national health policy. The project established a scientific partnership with the University of Montreal (CRCHUM). This DVD presents the results of studies carried out between 2008 and 2013, including nearly 70 scientific articles, a book, book chapters, policy briefs, publications for the general public, and documentary films in French and /or English.
