Burkina Faso: Making Surgery Accessible Where It Once Wasn’t

In some remote areas of Burkina Faso, patients live with pain for years due to a lack of access to surgery. ALIMA deploys specialized teams to provide free surgical care, strengthen local health facilities, and help patients regain their autonomy — close to home.

This video follows the journeys of patients for whom conditions such as hernias, adenomas, or urinary retention had become overwhelming disabilities.

Thanks to ALIMA’s teams, more than 300 surgical procedures have already been performed in 2025 — vital relief for people who previously had no access to surgical care.
