Factors hindering health care delivery in nomadic communities: a cross-sectional study in Timbuktu, Mali

Abstract

This study shows that nomadic populations do not have access to community-based health interventions. A number of factors were revealed to be important barriers per these communities' perception including the quality of services, poverty, lifestyle, gender and current health policy strategies in the region. To be successful, future interventions should take these factors into account by adapting policies and methods.
