An additional effect of the crisis is the diversion from higher to lower quality health services such as traditional practitioners and to greater recourse to self-care. In Burkina Faso, services supplied by the Centre de sante et de promotion sociale (CSPS), the most popular health facilities among Burkinabe children, are hardest hit, whereas in Ghana and in Cameroon, it is hospital-provided health services that fall most. The various monetary and fiscal stimulus programmes in advanced countries will contribute to restarting the global economy with positive effects on developing economies, but analysts agree on the fact that the return to growth will be unusually slow.19 Therefore, the design and implementation of appropriate economic policies in response to the crisis will considerably contribute to reducing its welfare cost, in particular for children. This is known as a pro-cyclical fiscal policy response. The result is that they have to adopt pro-cyclical policies aimed at reducing public spending and increasing tax revenues, which will increase the short-term vulnerability of the national economy and exacerbate the effects of the crisis.
