Introduction : Nous sommes devenus médecins et autres professionnels de santé parce que nous voulons sauver des vies grâce à la prestation des soins de santé de qualité. Les interventions à haut impact sont mises en oeuvre par la majorité des systèmes de santé dans le monde, cependant les gens continuent de mourir à cause de leur faible couverture et de millions d’autres subissent des préjudices. Parmi les raisons de cette faible qualité des soins qui touchent les médecins et autres cliniciens, l’absence d’engagement et de compétences d’amélioration sont particulièrement criantes. L’objectif de ce travail était de décrire le côté scientifique de la discipline de l’amélioration. Méthodes : Nous avons fait une métasynthèse pour décrire le côté scientifique de la discipline de l’amélioration grâce à la méthodologie recommandée par Beaucher et Jutras. Résultats : La science de l'amélioration est un domaine bien établi, avec des méthodes testées et éprouvées dans l'agriculture et d'autres industries depuis plus d'un siècle. Elle est relativement nouvelle pour les systèmes de santé. Le fondement philosophique de la discipline de l’amélioration est le pragmatisme conceptualiste. Sur le plan ontologique, l’essence de la discipline est le changement qui résulte en une amélioration et les paradigmes inscrits dans cette orientation constructiviste formulent une réponse de nature non essentialiste. Il y a cinq manières utiles de développer des idées de changements : pensée critique, benchmarking (comparaison), utilisation de la technologie, pensée créative, et concepts de changement. Les concepts de changement sont relatifs aux aspects suivants : élimination des déchets, amélioration du flux de travail, optimisation des inventaires, changement de l’environnement de travail, relation prestataire-client, gestion du temps, concertation sur les variations, concentration sur l’évitement des erreurs, et concentration sur le produit ou le service. Conclusion : Les médecins et autres professionnels de santé francophones soucieux d’améliorer la qualité des soins et services avaient besoin d’un document pour développer leurs habiletés à conduire des changements d’amélioration. Dans ce travail didactique, nous avons décrit les fondements scientifiques de la nouvelle discipline de l’amélioration. Les travaux ultérieurs doivent présenter ses côtés artistique et artisanal. Introduction: We became doctors and other health professionals because we want to save lives through the provision of quality health care. High impact interventions are implemented by the majority of health systems around the world, yet people continue to die from poor coverage and millions more are harmed. Among the reasons for this low quality of care related to physicians and other clinicians, the lack of commitment and skills for improvement are particularly evident. The aim of this work was to describe the scientific side of the discipline of improvement. Methods: We did a metasynthesis to describe the scientific side of the discipline of improvement using the methodology recommended by Beaucher and Jutras. Results: The science of improvement is a well-established field, with methods tested and proven in agriculture and other industries for over a century. It is relatively new to health systems. The philosophical foundation of the discipline of improvement is conceptualist pragmatism. On the ontological level, the essence of the discipline is the change which results in improvement and the paradigms enshrined in this constructivist orientation formulate a response of a nonessentialist nature. There are five useful ways to develop ideas for change: critical thinking, benchmarking, use of technology, creative thinking, and concepts of change. Concepts of change relate to the following aspects: waste elimination, improvement of work flow, optimization of inventories, change of the working environment, service provider-client relationship, time management, consultation on variations, concentration on error avoidance, and focus on the product or service. Conclusion: French-speaking physicians and other health professionals concerned with improving the quality of care and services needed a document to develop their skills to lead improvement changes. In this didactic work, we described the scientific foundations of the new discipline of improvement. Subsequent works will present its artistic and crafts sides.

Introduction : Les interventions à haut impact sont mises en oeuvre par la majorité des systèmes de santé dans le monde, cependant les gens continuent de mourir à cause de leur faible couverture et des erreurs évitables dans les soins et services qui leur sont offerts. De millions d’autres subissent des préjudices. Parmi les raisons de cette faible qualité des soins qui touchent les médecins et autres cliniciens, l’absence d’engagement et de compétences d’amélioration sont particulièrement criantes. Concluant la description du côté scientifique de la discipline de l’amélioration, les auteurs ont suggéré que les travaux ultérieurs présentent ses côtés artistique et artisanal. L’objectif de ce travail était de décrire le côté artisanal de la discipline de l’amélioration. Méthodes : Après la métasynthèse qui a permis de décrire le côté scientifique de la discipline, le terme « improvement craft » a été ajouté à ceux utilisés. Nous avons présenté la dimension artisanale de la discipline à travers le développement de ses compétences, ses outils et sa pratique. Résultats : La discipline de l’amélioration est principalement axée sur les processus et englobe l'apprentissage comme composante essentielle. Le travail d'amélioration est une entreprise complexe qui nécessite un certain nombre d’habiletés techniques, de connaissances, d'outils et de compétences différents. Les compétences de la discipline de l’amélioration sont des compétences d’adaptation ou spéciales. Trois ensembles de compétences sont essentiels à l’amélioration : compétences techniques, compétences « non techniques » et compétences d’apprentissage. Les compétences relatives à une discipline s’acquièrent par niveau et les niveaux d’acquisition de celles relatives à la discipline de l’amélioration vont de novice à expert. La discipline de l'amélioration est administrée par dose aux différents acteurs du système de santé. Le renforcement des capacités et habiletés d'amélioration repose sur l'apprentissage par l'expérience et l'application des concepts, outils et méthodes au travail quotidien. L'apprentissage en classe et l'apprentissage virtuel font partie des principes de sa conception. Conclusion : Dans ce travail, nous avons décrit la dimension artisanale de la discipline de l’amélioration, celle qui permet de passer de novice à expert leader de l’amélioration. Mais une question demeure : « quelle dimension permet de produire des maîtres-leaders de l’amélioration ? ». Un travail ultérieur répondra à cette question. Introduction: High impact interventions are implemented by most health systems around the world, yet people continue to die from poor coverage and preventable errors in the care and services provided to them. Millions more are being harmed. Among the reasons for this low quality of care related to physicians and other clinicians, the lack of commitment and skills for improvement are particularly evident. Concluding the description of the scientific dimension of the discipline of improvement, the authors suggested that later work exhibit its artistic and crafts sides. The purpose of this work was to describe the crafts side of the discipline of improvement. Methods: After the metasynthesis which made it possible to describe the scientific side of the discipline, the term "improvement craft" was added to those used. We presented the crafts dimension of the discipline through the development of its skills, tools, and practice. Results: The discipline of improvement is primarily process-oriented and encompasses learning as an essential component. Improvement work is a complex endeavor that requires a number of different technical capabilities, knowledge, tools and skills. The skills of the discipline of improvement are adaptive or special skills. Three sets of skills are essential for improvement: technical skills, "soft" skills and learning skills. The skills of a discipline are learned by level, and skill levels for improvement discipline range from novice to expert. The discipline of improvement is administered by dose to the various actors in the health system. Capacity building and improvement skills relies on learning through experience and applying concepts, tools and methods to daily work. Classroom learning and virtual learning are two of the principles of its design. Conclusion: In this work, we described the crafts dimension of the discipline of improvement, that which allows one to move from novice to expert leader of improvement. But a question remains: "What dimension allows the production of master-leaders of improvement? ". Further work will answer this question.

Introduction : La définition des normes de leadership et de management pour les professionnels médicaux est attendue depuis longtemps, compte tenu de la corrélation entre un leadership efficace et la qualité des soins délivrés aux patients. Depuis la reconnaissance officielle de cette organisation professionnelle le 30 septembre 2020, les acteurs de la Société Togolaise des Managers Médicaux (STMM) envisage un futur dans lequel les systèmes de santé forts offrent, d'une manière équitable, juste et pérenne, un niveau de bien-être le plus élevé possible aux individus et à la population. L’objectif de ce travail est de décrire les normes de leadership et mangement pour les professionnels médicaux du Togo. Méthodologie : Nous avons utilisé la méthode « delphi » encore appelée « méthode des experts » pour adapter aux contextes togolais les normes de leadership et management médical pour les professionnels médicaux du Royaume Uni élaborés par le Faculty of Medical Leadership and Management (FMLM). Résultats : Les normes de leadership et management pour les professionnels médicaux sont articulées comme un ensemble de valeurs fondamentales et de comportements conçus pour fonctionner à tous les niveaux. Ces normes sont guidées par les valeurs préconisées par les principes de la vie publique et les bonnes pratiques médicales et demandent des comportements observables et mesurables. Conclusion : Les normes de la STMM sont conçues spécifiquement pour les professionnels médicaux travaillant au Togo, quelque soient les spécialités, étapes de leur carrière et secteurs (public, privé à but non lucratif, privé lucratif, en entreprise, services de santé des Armées, industrie pharmaceutique, enseignement universitaire). Ces normes peuvent être utilisées dans une multitude de situations. English Abstract Introduction: The definition of leadership and management standards for medical professionals is long overdue, given the correlation between effective leadership and the quality of patient care. Since the official recognition of this professional organization on September 30, 2020, the actors of the Togolese Society of Medical Managers (STMM) envision a future in which strong health systems offer, in an equitable, fair and sustainable manner, a level of the highest possible well-being for individuals and the population. The objective of this work is to describe the standards of leadership and management for medical professionals in Togo. Methodology: We used the “delphi” method, also called the “expert method” to adapt to Togolese contexts the standards of medical leadership and management for medical professionals in the United Kingdom developed by the Faculty of Medical Leadership and Management (FMLM). Results: Leadership and management standards for medical professionals are articulated as a set of core values and behaviors designed to work at all levels. These standards are guided by the values recommended by the principlesof public life and good medical practice and require observable and measurable behavior. Conclusion: The STMM standards are designed specifically for medical professionals working in Togo, whatever the specialties, stages of their career and sectors (public, private non-profit, private for profit, in business, military health services, pharmaceutical industry, university education). These standards can be used in a multitude of situations.

In the career progression of a physician, he is likely to hold a leadership position. Unnikrishnan reminded us that healthcare has become what is called in military jargon a volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous (VUCA) world. Events like COVID-19 crisis are one of them; hence these questions: “what makes health systems a VUCA world? With which methods can medical managers lead improvement in such a VUCA world?” The aim of this paper is to describe the characteristics of health systems as VUCA world and the methods to lead improvement. Changes from regulators, patient, healthcare delivery, the financial structures that support the healthcare industry volatility, and unstable medical products availability with sometimes stock-out denote volatile situations due to expected change with unknown magnitude. Prediction of disease outbreaks, drug resistance, and unintended consequences such as adverse drug reactions, nosocomial infections, rehospitalisations and functional decline are uncertain situations. Epidemics and emerging infectious diseases are complex situations due to inter-coupled dynamics of social–ecological– technological systems. Immunization program is complex due to the variability in size, population, location, qualification of team leaders, and the mode of service delivery. Health professionals work in an ambiguous world with unknown unknowns because communicable diseases deliver surprises, whether in the form of new diseases or well-known diseases behaving in new ways (severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), Ebola, COVID-19). Microbial agents always deliver surprises. Agility, information, restructuring and experimentation are the solutions to a world of volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous situations. French title: La fonction de directeur médical dans un monde en mutation : une histoire de maître clinicien dans un monde VUCA Résumé Dans la progression de carrière d'un médecin, il est susceptible d'occuper un poste de direction. Unnikrishnan nous a rappelé que le système de soins de santé est devenu ce qu'on appelle dans le jargon militaire un monde volatil, incertain, complexe et ambigu. Des événements comme la crise du COVID-19 en font partie ; d'où ces questions : « qu'est-ce qui fait des systèmes de santé un monde VUCA ? Avec quelles méthodes les managers médicaux peuvent-ils conduire l'amélioration dans un tel monde VUCA ? » L'objectif de cet article est de décrire les caractéristiques des systèmes de santé dans le monde VUCA et les méthodes pour conduire l'amélioration. Les changements des régulateurs, des patients, de la prestation des soins de santé, les structures financières qui soutiennent la volatilité du secteur de la santé et la disponibilité instable des produits médicaux avec parfois des ruptures de stock dénotent des situations volatiles en raison de changements attendus d'une ampleur inconnue. La prévision des épidémies, de la résistance aux médicaments et des conséquences imprévues telles que les effets indésirables des médicaments, les infections nosocomiales, les réhospitalisations et le déclin fonctionnel sont des situations incertaines. Les épidémies et les maladies infectieuses émergentes sont des situations complexes dues aux dynamiques inter-couplées des systèmes sociaux-écologiques-technologiques. Le programme de vaccination est complexe en raison de la variabilité de la taille, de la population, de l'emplacement, de la qualification des chefs d'équipe et du mode de prestation des services. Les professionnels de la santé travaillent dans un monde ambigu avec des inconnues et inconnues car les maladies transmissibles réservent des surprises, que ce soit sous la forme de nouvelles maladies ou de maladies bien connues se comportant de manière nouvelle (syndrome respiratoire aigu sévère (SRAS), Ebola, COVID-19). Les agents microbiens réservent toujours des surprises. Agilité, information, restructuration et expérimentation sont les solutions à un monde de situations volatiles, incertaines, complexes et ambiguës.

Introduction : face aux faibles performances des systèmes de la prise en charge des cas de tuberculose dans les pays en développement, la recherche-action peut contribuer à améliorer l’offre de soins aux patients tuberculeux. Une expérience pilote d’amélioration des performances des services de santé par la recherche-action en réseau a mis à contribution des équipes multidisciplinaires dans six pays d’Afrique de l’Ouest en 2003. Méthodes : les équipes de recherche étaient composées de prestataires de soins, de responsables de programme de lutte contre la tuberculose, de socioanthropologues et de responsables sanitaires. Chaque équipe a mis en œuvre son protocole de recherche et évalué les résultats obtenus. Les équipes ont testé des solutions au faible dépistage des tuberculeux (Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire et Niger), à la faible compliance des patients au traitement et aux taux élevés des malades perdus de vue (Bénin, Mali et Sénégal). Résultats : un an après, le niveau des résultats obtenus varie d’un pays à l’autre. Dans l’ensemble, les membres des équipes de recherche ont mieux compris l’étendue transnationale des problèmes de la prise en charge des patients tuberculeux et les avantages du travail en équipe pluridisciplinaire. Le processus recherche-action mené dans chaque pays leur a permis d’acquérir des notions théoriques suivies d’applications pratiques immédiates. Cependant, les multiples réunions ont souvent entraîné des absences répétées des prestataires à leurs postes de travail. Conclusion : l’identification et la prise en compte des attentes des patients et de leurs proches dans le domaine psychosocial auraient rendu plus efficace le processus d’amélioration de la prise en charge des patients tuberculeux. Une nouvelle dynamique de travail en équipe et en réseau mérite d’être poursuivie au regard des avantages que tous les participants ainsi que les systèmes de santé peuvent tirer. Background: Improvement in management systems for tuberculosis (TB) care is urgently needed in West Africa. In 2003, an experimental action research network began there, involving care providers, health system managers, and TB programme managers. Each project in all 6 countries used a “patient-centered” approach to improve tuberculosis case management. Methods: The research teams included care providers, district medical officers, anthropologists and TB programme managers. Each research team conducted its project for a one-year period and then assessed its results. The specific problems identified were low TB detection rates (Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire and Niger) and poor compliance among patients receiving treatment, including their ensuing loss to follow-up (Benin, Mali and Senegal). Investigators concluded that these weaknesses were due to the lack of access to care (geographical, financial and cultural), the complexity of the care system and the low quality of care. Solutions for all 6 countries aimed at improving access to high-quality care. Results: One year after the experiment began, results varied from one country to another. In general, all participants understood the need to collaborate beyond national health systems because the problems from all 6 countries were quite similar. The research process led to better sharing of work between care providers and sometimes between care providers and TB patients. It provided participants with new concepts and a constant opportunity to implement them. These repeated meetings, however, keep care providers away from their offices. Conclusion: The research would have improved case management and care more effectively had the teams taken into account the psychological and sociological need of TB patients. A new regional dynamic has begun and must be pursued to help improve health care systems.

- Abstract
L'objectif principal de l'étude est de définir les différents degrés de manifestation de la pauvreté du point de vue de la communauté au Bénin. L'étude a adopté une démarche qualitative avec deux techniques, l'entretien et le focus group. Quatre strates ont été définies et un total de 30 entretiens et 48 focus group ayant réuni 483 personnes ont été conduits. Il ressort des entretiens et des focus group que la pauvreté est matérielle et se définit en terme de difficultés pour se nourrir, se vêtir et se loger. Une dimension morale, spirituelle ou mystique-peut y être associée. Quant à l'indigence, elle se définit comme l'expression prononcée et extrême de l'incapacité de satisfaire les besoins vitaux (l'alimentation, l'habillement, l'habitat) avec un besoin d'aide et d'assistance. L'incapacité d'accès aux soins de santé et d'instruction des enfants peuvent en être des caractéristiques. En conclusion, sur les trois concepts (pauvreté, dénuement, indigence) évoqués dans la présente étude, deux sont retenus par la communauté: la pauvreté et l'indigence. Les interventions pour lutter contre la pauvreté spécifiquement dans le domaine de la santé dans le but de l'identification et la prise en charge des indigents, doivent tenir compte de ces résultats pour garantir le consensus entre les politiques, les planificateurs et la communauté., info:eu-repo/semantics/published

- Abstract
To be used effectively, emergency obstetric and neonatal care must be available and accessible. This study sought to measure the accessibility of cesarean deliveries in Benin. Cross-sectional study of randomly selected women in each of the 12 obstetrics departments in Benin. Geographical accessibility was measured by estimating the distance between the parturientes residence and the hospital. Financial accessibility was the average direct cost of the cesarean delivery -the sum of medical and non-medical costs. The functionality of the referral system was assessed according to the conditions of referral of women referred for cesareans. The mean distance between women's homes and the hospital was 20.2 ± 22.3 kilometers. Of the 579 women, 63.0 % were referred from a peripheral health center to a hospital; the referral conditions were completed in the obstetric record for only half of them. The data sheet for the referral was completed for only 34.4 %; venous access had been placed in 28.5 %, and the patient was accompanied by medical personnel in only 1.7% of cases. The average direct cost of the cesarean to families was 36,782 ± 30,859 FCFA. Cesarean deliveries are now more accessible financially due to the policy of free access, but they remains geographically inaccessible, because of the long distances to be covered and the poor organization of referrals to ensure continuity of care.

- Abstract
Objective: We aimed to determine the relationship between changes in the prevalence of HIV infection in pregnant women from 2006 to 2015 and place of residence in Benin., Methods: In a retrospective and analytical study, were viewed the reports of the annual surveys of HIV infection among pregnant women from 2006 to 2015 across the country., Results: A total of 138,319 pregnant women participated in the annual HIV surveys from 2006 to 2015. The national prevalence of HIV infection among pregnant women between 2006 and 2015 was 2%. The prevalence of HIV infection from 2006 to 2015 in pregnant women increased significantly in departments of Mono (p = 0.001) and Donga (p = 0.001) and decreased in the departments of Collines (p = 0.000) and Couffo (p = 0.001) and in urban areas (p = 0.000)., Conclusion: Changes in the prevalence of HIV infection among pregnant women between 2006 and 2015 varied across departments and according the urbanization of the residence. The National AIDS control program may take these results into account when planning interventions against HIV for optimal response against the pandemic infection., (Le comitée de rédaction se réserve le droit de revoyer aux auteurs avant toute soumission à l'avis des lecteurs les manuscrits qui ne seraient pas conformes à ces modalités de présentation.

- Abstract
Objective: We aimed to analyze the performance of procurement and distribution system of antiretroviral, antituberculosis and antimalarial drugs in Benin., Methods: We carried out a cross-sectional study in 2016. Data on the procurement, storage and distribution of drugs were collected by either individual interview or observation of storage sites at the central procurement center for essential medicines (CAME) in Benin. Compliance with the norms of the procurement and distribution of the products was appreciated. At the operational level, order satisfaction, drug expiry and stock status of the targeted health programs were measured based on the participants statements., Results: Three workers of the CAME and 76 of health programs were surveyed. According to the norms, malfunctioning impaired the system of the procurement, storage and the distribution of the products. At the operational level, our study participants reported that antiretroviral drug orders were satisfied in 83%, drugs were distributed within three months of their expiration date in 26- 33%, and the CAME often ran out of antiretroviral drugs (stock-outs)in 69%., Conclusion: Malfunctioning impaired the system of the procurement, storage and the distribution of antiretroviral, antimalarial and antituberculosis drugs. These dysfunctions negatively affect the performance of the system., (Le comitée de rédaction se réserve le droit de revoyer aux auteurs avant toute soumission à l'avis des lecteurs les manuscrits qui ne seraient pas conformes à ces modalités de présentation.

- Abstract
Background: Caesarean section (CS) is a major obstetric intervention, widely recognized as an effective means to reduce maternal and perinatal mortality, when appropriately performed. CS numbers and rates are regularly published but quality is rarely taken into account. This study aims to describe the quality of caesarean delivery in selected hospitals in Benin., Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed among women who had undergone a CS between 18 December 2013 and 8 February 2014 in one randomly selected hospital in each of the 12 administrative districts of Benin. The quality of CS was defined according to the analytical framework of Dujardin and Delvaux (1998) with its four pillars (access, diagnosis, procedure, postoperative care). Data were collected from hospital files and questionnaires from women and hospital directors. Data analysis was performed using Epi Info 3.5.1., Results: Six hundred and thirty-two women delivered by CS during the period and 579 were eligible for the study. They were aged 26.5±6.3 years, 73.2% living more than 5km from the hospital, 63.0% referred to a health facility of whom 46.0% and 21.8% were transported by motorcycle and by ambulance respectively. The median expenditure by family was FCFA 30 000, ranging from 0 to FCFA 200 000. The admission examination was complete in 12.6% of women and the partograph used in 32.6%. The average CS rate was 37.6%, the average response time, 124minutes. Emergency CS was performed in 80.7%, for absolute maternal indications in 48.0% and under spinal anesthesia in 84.2% (98.3% of which were conducted by a nurse or midwife anesthetist). Maternal mortality was 2000 maternal deaths per 100 000 deliveries, while perinatal mortality was 7.4% (88.4% due to stillbirths)., Conclusion: CS in Benin hospitals partially fulfilled quality criteria. However access to CS remains difficult and errors of diagnosis or excessive delay are too frequent. Quality CS is not yet a reality in Benin hospitals., (Copyright © 2016 Elsevier Masson SAS.

- Abstract
Background: Improvement in management systems for tuberculosis (TB) care is urgently needed in West Africa. In 2003, an experimental action research network began there, involving care providers, health system managers, and TB programme managers. Each project in all 6 countries used a "patient-centered" approach to improve tuberculosis case management., Methods: The research teams included care providers, district medical officers, anthropologists and TB programme managers. Each research team conducted its project for a one-year period and then assessed its results. The specific problems identified were low TB detection rates (Burkina Faso, Côte d'Ivoire and Niger) and poor compliance among patients receiving treatment, including their ensuing loss to follow-up (Benin, Mali and Senegal). Investigators concluded that these weaknesses were due to the lack of access to care (geographical, financial and cultural), the complexity of the care system and the low quality of care. Solutions for all 6 countries aimed at improving access to high-quality care., Results: One year after the experiment began, results varied from one country to another. In general, all participants understood the need to collaborate beyond national health systems because the problems from all 6 countries were quite similar. The research process led to better sharing of work between care providers and sometimes between care providers and TB patients. It provided participants with new concepts and a constant opportunity to implement them. These repeated meetings, however, keep care providers away from their offices., Conclusion: The research would have improved case management and care more effectively had the teams taken into account the psychological and sociological need of TB patients. A new regional dynamic has begun and must be pursued to help improve health care systems.

- Abstract
Background: The aim of this study was to find the needs and priorities for interventions to improve children's nutritional state in a secondary city in Bénin. It addressed the issues of the magnitude and distribution of infant malnutrition and related maternal factors. It also aimed to identify an easy to use and low cost, but valid, technique to diagnose malnutrition in children., Method: First of all, the prevalence of infant malnutrition was assessed with a representative sample of 492 children aged less than 36 months, in all four communities of the city. Then the sensitivity and specificity of arm circumference were studied and the associations between the children's anthropometric indices were assessed. Secondly in a sub-group of 200 couples of mothers and children, an analysis was conducted to show the links between the indices of mothers' nutritional status, some of their social and economical variables, and the children's anthropometric indices., Results: The prevalences of wasting and stunting and all other forms confounded among children aged 0-3 years were respectively 5.7%, 22% and 25.9%. They represented 44.7% for the arm circumference. Wasting was more prevalent among children aged 6-23 months (9.6%) than those aged less than 6 months (1.1%) and those of 24 to 36 months (5.2%). The boys had a higher prevalence of stunting (25.1%; p = 0.049) than the girls (18.1%). The correlation between children arm circumference and their indices weight/height, weight/age and height/age were all significant (p < 0.001), but they were higher for weight/age (r = 0.48) and weight/height (r = 0.36) than for height/age (r = 0.30). Low, but significant correlation (r ranged from 0.17 to 0.25) were observed between anthropometric indices of mothers and children. Mothers' instruction level had a tendency to be associated positively and significantly with children z-score weight/height. The effect of socio-economic level on children's nutritional status was significant only at p < 0.10. Unlike the condition observed in the big cities of under-developed countries in general, the central area of Ouidah was more affected by infant malnutrition than peripheral area recently urbanized., Conclusions: Infant malnutrition appears to be a really public health problem in this town and children at weaning age are more affected. The interventions to improve children's nutritional status must concern, not only children with malnutrition, but also their mothers. Those interventions must also improve mother's knowledge and practices about weaning foods and their instruction and socioeconomic levels. The cut-off-point 12.5 cm of arm circumference seems to be more appropriate to diagnose wasting among children aged less than 12 months; 13.5 cm is better for 12-36 months aged children.
