Ouagadougou: The Burkinabe government has announced a plan to clear the social liabilities of the National Agency for Primary Health Care Management (AGSP), by the end of October, estimated at more than 35 billion FCFA. The Council of Ministers, chaired by Ibrahim Traor©, examined a communication concerning the financial situation of the National Agency for Primary Health Care Management (AGSP), marked by a significant social liability.

According to Burkina Information Agency, at the end of 2025, this debt was estimated at 35.42 billion FCFA, resulting in particular from difficulties in the payment of certain salary elements, especially guards. To address this, the government plans to immediately clear the arrears related to guards starting in April 2026. The other components of the liability will be settled gradually until the end of October 2026.

The plan also includes the digitalization of the on-call management system, with payment based on services actually performed, as well as a strengthening of administrative controls. An inter-ministerial committee will be responsible for monitoring the implementation of the process.

This initiative aims to improve the financial governance of the health sector and to guarantee better working conditions for staff.
