It then uses the first listing in that category order, or the first dataset listing. This does not determine suitability, eligibility, live availability, or provide medical advice.

Traveller note: Most hotlines listed here require a local Burkina Faso phone number or SIM card. If calling from abroad, you may need to dial your country's international exit code followed by the Burkina Faso country code, and some free-call numbers may not connect internationally. Emergency access varies by carrier and SIM status; verify current local guidance.
