Obstetric Evacuations at the Reference Health Centre in Fana (Mali)

Abstract

The purpose of our study was to study obstetric medical evacuations received at the Fana Reference Health Centre. We had 16.85% frequency of evacuations; The maternal death rate was low (0.08%) but the foetal prognosis was poor (19.2%). There is therefore a major need to improve the quality of antenatal consultations and follow-up of labour at birth. Our study found shortcomings in the correct filling of supports. The most common reason for evacuation was dystocia.
