This study aimed to identify and understand the factors underlying the irrational prescribing of medicine in areas affected by armed conflict in the Mopti region in Mali. An exploratory qualitative study was conducted using a semi-structured interview guide …
Implementation of basic package of care improved socio-economic conditions of lymphedema patients in rural Mali after two years follow-up
Research shows that a local hygiene package washing, wound care, and exercise improves lymphedema (LE) patients’ quality of life by reducing ADLA, costs, stigma, and boosting work capacity. The ‘LEdoxy’ study, a 24-month, multicountry, double-blind, randomized controlled trial of doxycycline plus hygiene, investigated the efficacy of daily doxycycline versus a placebo for lymphatic filariasis in Mali, India, and Sri Lanka. All ‘LEdoxy’ participan…

These efforts have expanded alongside increased democratic gov…
Understanding the barriers and facilitators related to never treatment during mass drug administration among mobile and migrant populations in Mali
INTRODUCTION: Five of the neglected tropical diseases use a strategy of preventative chemotherapy distributed via mass drug administration (MDA) for all eligible people living in endemic areas. To be successful, high coverage must be sustained over multiple rounds. Therefore, it will be difficult to reach elimination as a public health problem using MDA if there remain clusters of people who have never been treated. The study aims to explore the …
Reliability and validity of a perinatal depression screening instrument in rural Mali
Background: , in rural Mali. Methods: We administered a locally adapted screening instrument containing items from the Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale (EPDS) and Hopkins Symptom Checklist (HSCL-25) to 180 pregnant women and mothers of children under age 2 in Sélingué, Mali to assess the instrument's psychometric properties and validity. Item Response Theory was used to develop an abbreviated version of the measure and the validity and psych…

Challenges and difficulties in implementing and adopting isolation and quarantine measures among internally displaced people during the Covid-19 pandemic in Mali (161/250)
The findings of this study could be used as evidence to guide policy, adjust current strategies and take into account with more focus IDPs, a group with increased vulnerability, in COVID-19 response, more precisely during the implementation of isolation and quarantine measures. By doing so, they will help improve the response to COVID-19, IDPs health, and population health
Challenges to the implementation and adoption of physical distancing measures against Covid-19 by internally displaced people in Mali
The study demonstrates the difficulty for IDPs to follow most of the physical distancing measures and informs about the risk of disease spreading among IDPs with its potential consequences. It also shows the inability of mitigation measures to control the outbreak and suggests actions to be considered
Factors hindering health care delivery in nomadic communities
This study shows that nomadic populations do not have access to community-based health interventions. A number of factors were revealed to be important barriers per these communities' perception including the quality of services, poverty, lifestyle, gender and current health policy strategies in the region. To be successful, future interventions should take these factors into account by adapting policies and methods
Willingness to comply with physical distancing measures against Covid-19 in four African countries
box The world is facing an unprecedented crisis related to the COVID-19 pandemic with many unknowns, which has led to much confusion and anxiety.1 Public health measures have for centuries been the cornerstone of the response to epidemics.2 Among them, physical distancing measures aim to reduce contact between infected and uninfected people.3 As part of the global COVID-19 response, they have been widely used to slow down the spread of the virus …
C’est vraiment compliqué
Our study highlights the need for a more flexible funding and management mechanism that can better respond to concerns and issues arising at a local level. As the conflict in Mali continues to worsen, there is an urgent need to improve service delivery to conflict-affected populations
Spatio-Temporal Dynamic of Malaria Incidence
Malaria transmission largely depends on environmental, climatic, and hydrological conditions. In Mali, malaria epidemiological patterns are nested within three ecological zones. This study aimed at assessing the relationship between those conditions and the incidence of malaria in Dangassa and Koila, Mali. Malaria data was collected through passive case detection at community health facilities of each study site from June 2015 to January 2017. Cl…
Predicting Malaria Transmission Dynamics in Dangassa, Mali
Mali aims to reach the pre-elimination stage of malaria by the next decade. This study used functional regression models to predict the incidence of malaria as a function of past meteorological patterns to better prevent and to act proactively against impending malaria outbreaks. All data were collected over a five-year period (2012-2017) from 1400 persons who sought treatment at Dangassa's community health center. Rainfall, temperature, humidity…

Patient-provider communication styles in HIV treatment programs in Bamako, Mali
Effective patient-provider communication (PPC) promotes patient adherence and retention in long-term care. Sub-Saharan Africa faces unprecedented demand for chronic care for HIV patients on antiretroviral therapy (ART), yet adherence and retention remain challenging. In high-income countries, research describing patient preferences for different PPC styles has guided interventions to improve PPC and patient outcomes. However, research on PPC pref…

Household Roles and Care-Seeking Behaviours in Response to Severe Childhood Illness in Mali
Malaria is a major cause of under-five mortality in Mali and many other developing countries. Malaria control programmes rely on households to identify sick children and either care for them in the home or seek treatment at a health facility in the case of severe illness. This study examines the involvement of mothers and other household members in identifying and treating severely ill children through case studies of 25 rural Malian households. …
Treatment actions and treatment failure
Households have few options available to them in moments of overlapping health and economic crises. Public health research and policy should focus on the reducing barriers that inhibit poor households from promptly seeking appropriate health care. Enhancing the quality of care provided at community health facilities and supporting mechanisms by which treatment failures are quickly identified and addressed can contribute to reducing subsequent tre…
Seasonality of childhood infectious diseases in Niono, Mali
Common childhood diseases vary seasonally in Mali, much of the Sahel, and other parts of the world, yet patterns for multiple diseases have rarely been simultaneously described for extended periods at single locations. In this retrospective longitudinal (1996-2004) investigation, we studied the seasonality of malaria, acute respiratory infection and diarrhoea time-series in the district of Niono, Sahelian Mali. We extracted and analysed seasonal …
Local terminology for medicines to treat fever in Bougouni District, Mali
Current household survey methods are likely to provide inaccurate estimates of appropriate treatment of febrile illness, and thus alternative approaches are recommended. In introducing new malaria treatments, malaria control programmes should differentiate recommended treatments from other medications through distinctive packaging, drug appearance and appropriate Bambara language terms
