Construire des Systèmes de Santé résilients
Louvain Coopération agit pour renforcer les systèmes de santé afin de garantir un accès équitable à des soins de qualité pour toutes et tous, et d’améliorer durablement les indicateurs de santé publique.
Les systèmes de santé englobent l’ensemble des organisations, des personnes et des actions qui visent à promouvoir, protéger, restaurer et entretenir la santé au sein des communautés. Ils comprennent la promotion de la santé, la prévention, le traitement, la réhabilitation, ainsi que les modalités de financement et les mécanismes de gouvernance qui assurent leur efficacité.
Louvain Coopération adopte une approche intégrée et centrée sur la personne, en soutenant des systèmes accessibles, inclusifs et adaptés aux besoins des populations, avec une attention particulière portée aux plus vulnérables.
Mutuelles de santé, santé mentale, diabète, hypertension
Le développement de systèmes de santé résilients nécessite de prendre en compte toute une série de facteurs, d’activités et d’acteurs. Notre travail se concentre sur plusieurs de ces facteurs :

RDC
Our goal: Support the implementation of relevant and effective actions by civil society organisations (CSOs) by facilitating local initiatives in the fields of governance, peace and security, human development and sustainable development.
To achieve this, we work with our local partners to support local CSOs by funding projects in rural and peri-urban areas.
We are developing local support for local CSOs, in particular through a national Local Initiatives Support Office (GAL) and a pool of local consultants.
Burundi
Our aim is to offer quality healthcare with a particular focus on mental health.
To achieve this, we are working with our local partners to strengthen the healthcare system's capacity to deal with mental health issues. In practical terms, this means lobbying for mental health care to be integrated into national policies. Healthcare staff are trained to improve medical and psychological care for patients. Finally, community mental health focal points are also supported and trained.
We also work within communities, with mass awareness-raising activities to reduce the stigma attached to mental illness. Discussion groups aimed at mutual support and social reintegration of sufferers are set up and run. We also work with schools on prevention and care for children in difficult family or psychological situations. Finally, to facilitate the reintegration of patients, particularly women and children, we support them in developing small-scale economic activities.

RDC
Our goal: Provide quality healthcare, with a particular focus on chronic noncommunicable diseases (diabetes and hypertension) and mental illness.
To achieve this, we work with our local partners to inform and educate communities about diabetes, hypertension and mental health. To support and listen to sufferers, we set up diabetic peer clubs and discussion groups.
We are also working to improve the quality of care, in particular by strengthening healthcare staff through training and local support. A number of healthcare structures are also receiving support in the form of medicines and equipment.
We also work alongside the provincial and local health authorities to supervise and support healthcare facilities.
Finally, we carry out advocacy work to improve the treatment of non-transmissible diseases in the country.

RDC
Our goal: To help improve the well-being of street children in Kinshasa and Bukavu and enable them to become socially and professionally integrated and reunited with their families in the long term.
To achieve this, we work with our local partners to meet the children's basic needs by offering shelter, food and healthcare to those who need it.
We provide them with psychosocial support from a multi-disciplinary team (psychologists, social workers, etc.) who receive regular training to ensure the quality of their work.
We raise community awareness of children's rights and work to reunite these children with their families whenever possible.
At the same time, we support the socio-professional integration of young people living on the streets by guiding them in their choice of profession and offering them vocational training courses, both long and modular. We organise internships, incubations, apprenticeships with craftsmen and accompany these young people in their professional integration (employment or self-employment).
