Au Burkina Faso, tout comme ailleurs dans le monde, les infirmiers dispensent près de 80% des services de santé.

limités, de même qu’il existe un écart entre rôle défini et celui accompli. Ainsi on y dénote de l’ambiguïté, liée au manque de clarté des missions de son service et de précision dans leur rôle, faisant qu’ils en sont parfois désabusés. Ce qui révèle aussi que le problème pour les diverses catégories de personnel infirmier soit beaucoup lié au manque de définition précise
des rôles, et à la sous-utilisation de leurs compétences.
