Abstract

Mauritania has developed specific health policies for a long time. The country remains, however, highly affected by strong inequalities and difficulties concerning healthcare accessibility. In a first section, we propose an analytical framework following the capability approach and A. Sen ?s works. We focus on different forms of accessibility in the case of healthcare. In a second section, we illustrate this framework using mauritanian data. Finally, we conclude on the idea of health threshold as reference mark for local population accessibility to health.
