Ouahigouya:The National Reproductive Health Week "plus" (SNSR+) 2026 was officially launched on October 27 by Rasmata Sawadogo, the Secretary General of Yatenga Province. The initiative is inviting the local population to take full advantage of the week-long health services being offered.

According to Burkina Information Agency, SNSR+ 2026 aims to significantly reduce maternal, neonatal, and infant mortality rates within the Ouahigouya health district. The focus on maternal and child health reflects a broader social concern, with the Secretary General of Public Health emphasizing the societal impact of losing mothers and newborns.

Koudougou Kombasséré, the MCD of Ouahigouya, noted that the National Reproductive Health Week offers a crucial opportunity for community mobilization. It seeks to promote family well-being through the provision of pharmaceutical products and screening tests. Kombasséré encouraged the local community to participate, with the hope of diminishing maternal, newborn, and child mortality rates.

Throughout the health district, healthcare staff are offering various free services from October 26 to November 1, 2026. These services are designed to enhance health outcomes and are accessible to all members of the district's population.
