“…Public investments to develop « traditional » medicine to which a great majority of the population resort were practically absent since the necessary attention went to the development of a structured modern health sector according to the dominant institutional approach from the colonial era [19]. In the 1990s, while structural adjustment policies were seriously jeopardizing the public health sector, the gap between the private and public care offers was increasing; new investments in the health sector were predominantly going to private institutions that were mainly managed for business motives [20]. Social protection systems put in place in the early 2000s by most governments to mitigate the social consequences of different political reforms did not make a positive impact due to lack of resources, as they were accompanied by very severe eligibility criteria to dissuade the great majority.…”

Background: Health is one of the major challenges for the development of Africa, whether it is to improve the current state of health of Africans or to allow the emergence of a healthy workforce able to contribute to the economic growth of Africa. Objectives: This paper aims to highlighting gaps in access to modern care, to identify attraction factors for traditional African medicine helping with the current health crisis due to Covid-19, to propose ways of uilding synergies and to encourage more efficient and consistent health systems. Methods: We conducted a systematic review using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. We evaluated sources of heterogeneity by keywords (health system, health care providers, Africa, diseases), and pooled heterogeneity analysis addressed by authors, using meta-analysis methods. Results: With Covid-19, African health systems have been less overwhelmed and health consequences less dramatic than those of European and American countries, but the pandemic has exposed the flaws of health systems that have reached their limits. Conclusion: Because health is one of the relatively neglected challenges in development policies in Africa and because health will become a strategic development issue in the coming years, it is therefore becoming increasingly important to re-think the organization and functioning of health systems in Africa.

The purpose of this article is to identify the macroeconomic determining factors of health crises. In order to reach our purpose, we use a logit model on a panel of 25 countries in sub-Saharan Africa from 1995 to 2012. The main results of this study indicate that international migration flows, the ratio of short-term debt by currency reserves, and the organization of the health care system explain health crises. These results imply that the poor management of information related to unforeseen events, the ability of reimbursement of the short-term debt, and the privatization of health services make most sub-Saharan African countries vulnerable to unforeseen events. This study suggests a better management of information related to unforeseen events, the increase of exportations and the improvement of the access to health services to all people during any unforeseen events outbreak.
