“…This study reported a predominance of this variant but the co-circulation of the Delta variant demonstrated its fairly recent introduction into the Central African territory. This variant severely tested the effectiveness of vaccines based on viral vectors like AstraZeneca® and that mRNA vaccines with more possibility of evolution were the only ones to offer effective protection in terms of preventing contamination, even if all vaccines are recognized as effective against severe forms and against deaths due to COVID-19 [18,19].…”

Objective : In a context of increasing cases despite vaccination campaigns, a survey was conducted in the Bangui population in January 17 to 26, 2022 to evaluate the strains of Severe Acute Respiratory Infection Coronavirus 2 (SARS-Cov-2) circulating in a healthy population by taking nasopharyngeal samples in 2,554 randomly selected volunteers. Antigen detection was performed systematically and RT-PCR was done on the positive samples. Thirty samples were found RT-PCR positive (1.2%) and sent for viral genome sequencing. Twenty eight SARS-Cov-2 strains belong to Omicron type and solely 2 to Delta type. Thus, infection were uncommon in the tested population but the presence of Omicron and Delta types make fear than vaccination will not be efficient to fight against the virus and newly designed vaccine should be implemented to better protect the population who is at risk of infection and re-infection by these variants.

“…Screening trends were essentially the same with an increase in HIV positivity in 2020. According to several studies, a decrease in resources, supply of care as well as the mobility of populations caused by confinement and the fear of being contaminated would explain this drop in consumption of antiretrovirals 9 .…”

Objective: To understand the impact of Covid-19 on the prevention and consumption of antiretroviral drugs at Treichville University Hospital. Methods: This was a retrospective cross-sectional study with a descriptive, multicenter aim, carried out in six screening and treatment departments for HIV patients at the Treichville University Hospital. Monthly order reports from January 2019 to December 2021 from six services were used to collect data on screening and antiretroviral treatment. After a univariate analysis, an Anova made it possible to carry out a comparison of several variables between the study periods. Results: In total, a decrease of 40 to 55% (p>0.05) in the consumption of antiretrovirals was recorded compared to 2019. The antiretrovirals affected more specifically were tenofovir 300mg, lamivudine 150 mg, abacavir / adult lamivudine, lopiritonavir and the tenofovir / adult lamivudine combination (p<0.05). Therapeutic protocols and prevention data varied between 2019 and 2021 with a drop in the prescription of dolutegravir to the profile of efavirenz and a drop of 17.5% of individuals screened in 2020. Conclusion: The Covid-19 health crisis has led to a drop in the frequency of HIV testing and a non-significant effect on the consumption of antiretrovirals essential for the management of the disease.

“…Also, the lockdown has led to a deterioration in access to health care for the less privileged and most vulnerable populations. The lockdown has led to a decline in access to health care for the less privileged and most vulnerable people [1, 2]. Since the declaration of the first case of coronavirus disease, a drop in the use of health services has been observed in most health facilities, which risks destroying the efforts made so far and increasing the number of extra-hospital deaths of groups related to other diseases [3].…”

“…Like other countries worldwide, Burkina Faso has been heavily affected by COVID-19. The scourge has set in motion an already fragile and poorly organized health system, with repercussions on women and girls’ access to reproductive health services, particularly family planning [1, 8]. There was a disruption in the supply chains of contraceptive products, the closure of health planning services and increased women’s fear of going to health facilities [9, 10].…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the continuity of maternity care in Burkina Faso. This study aimed to compare the volumes of in-person visits and explore the experiences of healthcare providers and users regarding the continuity of healthcare in the maternity ward of a Health and Social Promotion Center (HSPC) before, during, and after the lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. Methods We conducted a multimethod, cross-sectional exploratory study with a phenomenological approach. Monthly health administrative data regarding family planning visits, antenatal visits, deliveries, and postnatal care before, during, and after COVID-19 were collected and compared. Qualitative data were collected through semi-structured interviews with family healthcare providers and users and thematically analyzed. Results The study found that the pandemic led to a decline in the demand for healthcare, as people were afraid of contracting COVID-19. This was particularly true for pregnant women who had recently given birth. The study also found that the pandemic disrupted the supply of essential medicines and medical supplies, which made it difficult for healthcare providers to provide quality care. The qualitative analysis allowed us to highlight three themes: the representation of respondents on COVID-19, their perception of the effectiveness of barrier measures and their analysis of the continuity of care in times of COVID-19: the picture of respondents on COVID-19, their perception of the efficacy of barrier measures and their analysis of the continuity of care in times of COVID-19. Despite these challenges, the study found that healthcare providers and users could find ways to maintain continuity of care. Conclusion The study concludes that the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the continuity of maternity care in Burkina Faso. However, healthcare providers and users have found ways to maintain continuity of care, and the study provides recommendations for improving continuity of care in the future.
