Assessing Maternal and Child Healthcare in Ouagadougou

The study was conducted in the Maternal and Child Health Services (MCHS) of the various health Centers in Ouagadougou from March to June 2022. In terms of health, the city is divided into five (5) health districts with different coverage sizes, all taken into account for the survey (Fig. 1). The choice of Ouagadougou city was justified by the fact that it brings together almost all the social groups of the different regions of the country, which makes it possible to obtain a picture of regional practices. In 2020, the child population of the city of Ouagadougou was estimated at 188,185 children aged 0–24 months [16 ]. The urban municipality of Ouagadougou is located in the province of Kadiogo in the Center region of Burkina Faso.Fig. 1
