摘要：Since independence (1960s), African countries are regularly animated by crisis (politicalalternation, ethnic conflicts, tribalism, wars, coup d’états). These plagues that consume Africansociety have serious impact on the economic growth of these countries, and diversely affectneighboring countries known for their relative stability. Thus, the purpose of this study was toevaluate the impact of political crises in Central African Republic (CAR) on the Cameroon healthperformances. We used Nafziger crude mortality model based on famine, conflict and populationdisplacement. The econometric analysis of the model shows a strong contribution of the criticalpolitical situation in CAR on the degradation of the health state of people living in Cameroon. Severalreasons justify this argument: the influx of refugees from one country to another and the disseminationof diseases amplified by the precariousness of their living condition on the Cameroon territory. Thisproofs that political instability in Central African Republic (CAR) negatively affects the health state ofthe Cameroonian population.
