Abstract: (french)
Cette étude a été réalisée dans le but de décrire le fonctionnement des formations sanitaires privées de la Ville de Bunia, en Province de l’Ituri, République Démocratique du Congo. La méthode d’enquête, appuyée par l’interview semi-structurée et l’analyse documentaire a été utilisée pour réaliser ce travail. Les données ont été analysées au moyen de l’indice de pourcentage. Après l’analyse des données, nous avons abouti aux résultats ci-après: - Plus de 4/5 des formations sanitaires privées disposent de l’autorisation d’ouverture d’établissement sanitaire; - La majorité de formations sanitaires disposent de 1 à 3 bâtiments; - La pèse-personne, le tensiomètre, le microscope et la table de consultation sont les matériels et équipements de base pour commencer une structure sanitaires privées; - Près de la moitié de formations sanitaires privées bénéficient de 1 à 3 fois de séances de supervision chaque année. Au vu de ces résultats il s’avère important que les autorités sanitaires mettent sur pieds des stratégies appropriées non seulement pour encadrer l’ouverture d’une formation sanitaire privée, mais également se rassurer que leur fonctionnement est conforme aux normes.
