Abstract

The purpose of this reflection, through the analysis of observational data, comprehensive interviews and documentary studies, is to define among health actors their communication in the fight against these major pathologies in health projects. public. The study comes in a context where the executive in its quest for popularity and political legitimacy has been displaying, since 2011, ambitious social projects in the field of health: Universal health insurance-AMU, low-cost care, childbirth free… The target populations of the projects in question, however, seem to appreciate other health realities in their daily lives which conclude that there is a mismatch between the government's political discourse, public health supply and demand in Côte d'Ivoire.
