Results & Indicators


Expected Results


Support for an expanded network of some twenty community health centres (15 CSCom and 5 university-based centres (CSCom-U)) and five district hospitals in five regions of Mali (Bamako, Sikasso, Ségou, Kayes and Koulikoro), to assess their level of adoption of the digital health tools deployed as part of the SanDi project.

Support for central institutions (Ministry of Health, National Agency for Telehealth and Medical Informatics-ANTIM) to strengthen the approaches used in the deployment of digital health projects. Recommendations will be issued based on the assessment of the adoption of digital health technologies in the various health facilities.



Support for the various evaluation and research mandates enabling the participation of students and Malian partners.
