Management of the COVID-19 Pandemic in Cote D'ivoire: Analysis of the Political-Hospital System

Abstract

<jats:p>This study analyses the factors that explain the dysfunction in the management of the COVID-19 coronavirus in Côte d'Ivoire. The study was essentially qualitative, using appropriate survey tools such as documentary analysis and semi-structured interviews with a category of actors in Abidjan. This enabled us to arrive at the following results: the dysfunctional management of COVID-19 in Côte d'Ivoire is linked to the failure to comply with the normative framework issued by the authorities of the Ministry of Health through the persistence of lifestyle habits that are proof of the restrictive measures announced in view of the seriousness of the COVID-19 coronavirus. Thus, the actors develop strategies outside the normative framework to redefine new types of lifestyle relationships.</jats:p>
