Mali Health improves maternal and child health by supporting women, communities, and the community health system to develop local solutions that ensure every mother and child has access to quality primary care.

We aim to end preventable maternal and child mortality by helping communities build participatory, community-led, and equitable health systems that meet the needs of the most vulnerable members of their community.

BUILDING COMMUNITY HEALTH SYSTEMS

Mali’s decentralized health system presents many challenges, and many opportunities.

When we help communities manage their resources to improve the quality and availability of maternal and child healthcare in their health centers, and the way that families access it, the results are astounding.

By supporting community leadership, we help the health system to function the way it was designed to – with full community participation and local ownership.

Here are four ways that we support community-centered health systems:

Community Health Workers

Women-Led Health Financing

Health Promotion and Community Outreach

Participatory Quality Improvement
