neonatal surgical pathologies in developing countries are characterized by high mortality. the aim of this work was to describe the characteristics of the newborn and its surgical pathologies treated in the neonatal department of the Gabriel touré University Hospital in Bamako (Mali). Patients and method: this is a retrospective study of 626 files of newborns hospitalized over a period of 3 years (January 2016 to December 2018) for a surgical pathology, whether operated on or not. We have studied the etiological, therapeutic and evolutionary aspects. Results: During the study period, we collected 626 patients who had surgical pathology, i.e. a frequency of 5.35%. the average therapeutic consultation time was 2 days with extremes (1 and 30 days). Pathologies of the abdominal wall and digestive tract represented 57.9% (n = 84) followed by pathologies of the spine 26.9% (n = 39). the mean treatment time was 4.5 days. twenty-three point sixteen (23.16%) newborns could be operated on. the neonatal mortality rate was 12.4% (n = 18). Mortality was postoperative (100%) with a mean time to onset of 5 days. Abdominal wall pathologies were responsible for 8.7% (n = 13) of deaths. Conclusion: Surgical pathologies of the newborn are characterized by delayed treatment with high mortality. Improving their prognosis requires early diagnosis (prenatal diagnosis) and adequate management.

AIM: to design a medical cost calculator and show that diabetes care is beyond reach of the majority particularlypatients with ***: Out-of-pocket expenditures of patients for medical treatment of type-2 diabetes were estimated based on price data collected in Benin,Burkina Faso,Guinea and Mali. A detailed protocol for realistic medical care of diabetes and its complications in the African context was defined. Care components were based on existing guidelines,published data and clinical experience. Prices were obtained in public and private health facilities. the cost calculator used Excel. the cost for basic management of uncomplicated diabetes was calculated per person and per year. Incremental costs were also computed per annum for chronic complications and per episode for acute complications. RESULtS: Wide variations of estimated care costs were observed among countries and between the public and private healthcare system. the minimum estimated cost for the treatment of uncomplicated diabetes(in the public sector) would amount to 21%-34% of the country's gross national income per capita,26%-47% in the presence of retinopathy,and above 70% for nephropathy,the most expensive complication. COnCLUSIOn: the study provided objective evidence for the exorbitant medical cost of diabetes considering that no medical insurance is available in the study countries. Although the calculator only estimates the cost of inaction,it is innovative and of interest for several stakeholders.
