Services sociaux d'éducation et de santé en Guinée: Effets redistributifs de la politique gouvernementale

Cette étude a pour objectif d'identifier la progressivité des services publics d'éducation et de santé en Guinée, en s'appuyant sur les schémas de consommation tirés de l'enquête sur le niveau de vie de 2002-2003. Les résultats suggèrent que l'éducation publique primaire est plus progressive que l'éducation publique secondaire et universitaire, les consultations médicales et soins prénatals dans les centres et postes de santé sont mieux assurés que dans les hôpitaux. Cependant, on observe un biais anti-féminin dans la répartition des bénéfices tirés de la fourniture des services publics d'éducation. Ces résultats de recherche induisent la nécessité de rendre plus équitable l'accès aux services publics même si la taille du budget reste constante. Ils montrent aussi que, malgré la progressivité de l'éducation publique primaire et secondaire, l'expansion de leur couverture totale n'est pas une garantie pour l'amélioration de l'équité dans l'accès à ces services.Taux de couverture, incidence moyenne, incidence marginale, progressivité, dominance, courbe de concentration

Impact of infection prevention and control training on health facilities during the Ebola virus disease outbreak in Guinea

Abstract Background In 2014–2016, West Africa faced the most deadly Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) outbreak in history. A key strategy to overcome this outbreak was continual staff training in Infection Prevention and Control (IPC), with a focus on Ebola. This research aimed to evaluate the impact of IPC training and the quality of IPC performance in health care facilities of one municipality of Conakry, Guinea. Methods This study was conducted in February 2016. All health facilities within Ratoma municipality, Conakry, Guinea, were evaluated based on IPC performance standards developed by the Guinean Ministry of Health. The IPC performance of healthcare facilities was categorised into high or low IPC scores based on the median IPC score of the sample. The Mantel-Haenzsel method and logistic regression were used for statistical analysis. Results Twenty-five percent of health centres had one IPC-trained worker, 53% had at least two IPC-trained workers, and 22% of health centres had no IPC-trained workers. An IPC score above median was positively associated with the number of trained staff; health centres with two or more IPC-trained workers were eight times as likely to have an IPC score above median, while those with one IPC-trained worker were four times as likely, compared to centres with no trained workers. Health centres that implemented IPC cascade training to untrained medical staff were five times as likely to have an IPC score above median. Conclusions This research highlights the importance of training healthcare staff in IPC and organising regular cascade trainings. IPC strategies implemented during the outbreak should continue to be reinforced for the better health of patients and medical staff, and be considered a key factor in any outbreak response
