The evolution of facility-based deliveries at primary healthcare centres during an insecurity and conflict crisis in Burkina Faso: a geospatial analysis
This research provides crucial insights for strengthening Burkina Faso's health system resilience to conflict by spatially identifying how facility characteristics and geo-spatial determinants shape healthcare disruptions. Mapping these elements at a fine scale enables adaptive policy interventions and dynamic resource allocation based on evolving conflict dynamics, enhancing obstetric care during conflict. By integrating the applied geospatial methods into national health systems, we can enhance responsiveness, enabling targeted and timely interventions, as well as efficient and flexible resource distribution (e.g., funding, personnel, and medical supplies). This also supports improved healthcare demand forecasting, ultimately ensuring a more proactive, data-driven, and conflict-sensitive approach to maternal health policy planning in crisis response.
