Sustainable Access to Health Care in the Department of Ferkessedougou (Ivory Coast)

Damage to the environment and natural habitats as well as geographical and socio-economic disparities have significant effects on individual and collective well-being. The objective of this article is to explain what sustainable access to health care means using existing theoretical and conceptual models in order to understand the mechanisms likely to hinder it. The methodological approach is based on surveys carried out in five localities: Ferkessedougou; Koumbala; Lafokpokaha; Nambonkaha; Togoniere. The results of the analyzes through the Whitehead and Dahlgren model reveal that the main determinants of health do not favor the sustainable access of populations to health care at the level of the department of Ferkessedougou.
