Burkina/Santé : Le tarif de l'Imagerie par résonance magnétique (IRM) réduit à 40 000 FCFA depuis avril 2024

Lefaso.net (Burkina Faso) - Tue, 08/09/2026 - 13:10

Le Gouvernement a réduit de 60% le tarif subventionné de l'Imagerie par résonance magnétique (IRM) en avril 2024, le faisant passer de 100 000 à 40 000 francs CFA. Cette baisse vise à rendre cet examen spécialisé plus accessible aux patients, dont le coût pouvait constituer un frein à la prise en charge.

Le ministère de la Santé enregistre déjà 2 084 IRM réalisées au premier semestre 2026, 3 916 en 2025 et 295 IRM en 2024.

Derrière ces milliers d'examens, ce sont surtout des patients qui ont pu mieux comprendre leur maladie, confirmer un diagnostic et dans certains cas, engager plus rapidement le traitement adapté.
