Introduction• Introduction of AMTSL in Mali:
– Pilot project in Bamako in 2002/2003 demonstrated the feasibility and acceptability of introducing AMTSL in Mali
– A national commitment was made to scale-up AMTSL to all facilities
– At that time, only skilled birth attendants (doctors, midwives, and obstetric nurses) were included in scale-up activities
• The DHS (IV – 2001) showed that auxiliary midwives (matrones) attend 45.3% of vaginal births
• Up to 2009, matrones were not authorized to apply AMTSL

Follow-up of matrone study
• Results of the study showed that:– Matrones could apply AMTSL competently
and safely.– When matrones apply AMTSL, coverage of
AMTSL can reach 100%.
• Results were first presented at the national level and then to the Minister of Health and his staff
Change in policy
The Minister of Health:• Authorized matrones to apply AMTSL on April
02, 2009 • Made a decision (No 09-1066/MS-SG du 22 mai
2009) to put in place a national commission to promote AMSTL
• Requested that the commission:– Develop a national action plan for training
matrones to apply AMTSL – Meet quarterly to follow progress made
towards achieving the national plan
