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
