Abstract:
Taking into account what a cost-effectiveness analysis in the field of health should be able to provide to project administrators and planners working in a given field of information on which they can base themselves to decide on the allocation of resources, the main objective of this study is to show which of the two methods of intervention (that developed at Makélékélé and that developed at Tié -Tié) is most effective as regards the reduction of maternal morbidity and mortality. Specifically, this study aims at comparing the effectiveness of these two interventions in terms of the number of lives saved, the rate of reduction of maternal deaths, the number of difficult childbirths avoided, the number of emergencies managed and the number of Caesareans carried out with a view to making recommendations on the modalities of implementation of these interventions.
