Description

Mobile health clinics have been introduced in remote rural communities of Burkina Faso to improve access to healthcare services and address disparities. A mixed-methods approach combining qualitative interviews and quantitative data analysis will be employed to explore the theoretical framework's validity and applicability. The theoretical framework reveals significant improvements in health outcomes among mobile clinic users, particularly for chronic disease management and maternal care. Future research should focus on replicating the findings in other rural regions with varying degrees of infrastructure and cultural contexts. Policy recommendations include prioritising funding for mobile clinics and integrating them into existing healthcare systems.
