Therapeutic itineraries in Brazzaville

This book analyses the therapeutic itineraries in Brazzaville. These are not independent of the dysfunction of the Congolese health system and the spatial and demographic evolution of the city. After reviewing the main concepts used in population health (Chapter 1), the general health indicators in the Congo will be reviewed (Chapter 2). Chapter 3 presents the organisation of healthcare provision in the Congo. Chapter 4 analyses urban sprawl and healthcare provision in Brazzaville, Chapter 5 looks at traditional medicine, and finally Chapter 6 analyses the thorny problem of the illegal sale of pharmaceutical products and its consequences.
