title: [The problem of a medical health program for children in the Sahal zone of Africa: exemplified by Burkina Faso].
abstract: To date, medical programmes aimed at helping children have tended to be well-meant rather than effective. However, the scientific evaluation of past experience may provide helpers and those who bear the political responsibility with the knowledge that they require in order to render such programmes more effective. Long-term, broad-based (i.e. national or politically supported) programmes are preferable to spontaneous and timely actions.
