Article Synopsis
- Maternal and neonatal health service coverage in Mali's cities, particularly Bamako, is affected by poverty and migration, with trends worsening since the 2012 security crisis.
- An analysis of data from Mali's Demographic and Health Surveys (2001-2018) revealed significant disparities in access to antenatal and childbirth care based on poverty and migration status, showing that migrant women face greater challenges over time.
- While overall health interventions are high in Bamako, the results indicate critical intra-urban inequities, particularly disadvantageous for poor and recently migrated women, suggesting the need for health programs to address these disparities.
Patient-Controlled Analgesia (PCA) involving the use of on-demand subcutaneous or intravenous opioids offers patients greater autonomy in managing pain. In palliative situations, this method allows a continuous background infusion rate of opioids and allows a patient to self-administer a pre-set bolus dose of opioids. Indications for PCA are moderate to severe pain that is not relieved by 3rd level analgesics administered in oral ore transdermal route or by intermittent injections.

The objective of the present study was to identify the susceptibility of ABOS blood groups to COVID-19 at the National Institute of Public Health (INSP) of Mali.
Material And Methods: This was an unpaired case-control study.
Background: Despite its effectiveness, the optimal use of the combination of insecticide-treated nets (ITN) and intermittent preventive treatment during pregnancy with sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (IPTp-SP) remains low in malaria-endemic areas. Therefore, this study analyzed its variations and predictors in Guinea.
Methods: This study was a secondary analysis of the 2012 and 2018 Guinea Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS).
Introduction: Identifying and understanding the factors associated with homebirths can contribute to improving maternal and child health and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This study aimed to perform a comparative analysis of the factors associated with homebirths in Benin and Mali.
Method: This study is based on the most recent data from the Demographic Health Surveys conducted in Mali and Benin in 2018.
