MLI countries to present at maternal health technical workshop
MLI co-sponsored a technical workshop organized by the Community of Practice on Financial Access to Health Services on the benefits package for maternal health fee exemption policies. Delegations from three MLI countries participated, Mali, Sierra Leone, and Senegal. Mali and Sierra Leone presented their country’s experience with fee exemption policies in plenary.
Program Focus
In Mali, MLI works closely with the Ministry of Health and Ministry of Social Development to put in place critical health financing reforms to improve access to health care for the country’s whole population. With support and technical assistance from MLI, Mali has developed and is piloting a strategy to scale up community-based health insurance, or “mutuelles”, nationally.

Even though I have worked in Sierra Leone in the past, the role of MLI Country Lead has given me the opportunity to build upon these previous experiences and to work closely with members of the Ministry of Health and Sanitation (MOHS), to support the implementation of health policies and reforms that they have prioritized.
