Major achievements by the World Health Organization (WHO) in Burkina Faso through the third quarter of 2026 have saved countless lives. Over 1.3 million children were vaccinated against measles and over 5 million protected against malaria through seasonal chemotherapy. The organization contributed to strengthening vaccination leadership, harmonizing malaria data and guidelines, and training 52 experts to bolster health security across Africa.

WHO's support extended to transforming the Bogodogo regional hospital, improving data on causes of death and cancer, developing a mercury-free health system plan for 2027-2029, and promoting tobacco control, non-communicable disease prevention, and health system strengthening, all while providing medical equipment to health facilities.
