Burkina Faso decree provides for Faso CDC and a traditional medicine agency
Burkina Faso’s government adopted a decree changing the Health Ministry’s organisation on 5 November 2026. It notably provides for Faso CDC and a Burkinabe traditional medicine agency, according to the Council of Ministers account carried by local media.
The reform also provides for provincial health directorates and provincial hospitals. The government presents it as an adjustment to the new territorial divisions and municipal medical centres.
The framework abolishes SOGEMAB, the company responsible for biomedical equipment and maintenance, transferring its functions to a ministry directorate, according to Actualité.bf. Adoption of the organisational chart does not yet establish available resources or whether the new bodies have begun operating.
