We are proud to announce the completion and approval of the impact assessment report for the Order of Malta Hospital in Elavagnon, Togo (HOME), a mission conducted by ALG on behalf of the Order of Malta France (OMF), with the support of the International Foundation (IF).

This strategic study is part of the overall objective to ensure the sustainability and optimization of hospital services dedicated to mother and child, while seeking a technically and financially viable structural model.

ALG’s mission had three crucial specific objectives:

1. To assess the maintenance of the level of activity of mother and child services at the Order of Malta Hospital in Elavagnon (HOME).

2. Evaluate the level of improvement in the quality and medical services offered by the hospital.

3. Evaluate the continued status of HOME as a referral hospital, as recognized by the Togolese government.

To ensure the reliability and consistency of the findings, our methodological approach comprised two main components:

• Quantitative Component: A thorough documentary analysis of data from reports by HOME and other health services in the Est-Mono prefecture.

• Qualitative Component: Fifteen (15) interviews (individual and group), including HOME administrative and technical staff, resource persons from the Prefectural Health Directorate, pregnant women, nursing mothers, and community and religious leaders.

Based on these results and analyses covering the quality of medical services and the hospital’s status as a referral center, the final report provides a detailed roadmap, including an operational plan for the HOME’s activities over the period 2022-2025.

The success of this mission reaffirms ALG’s expertise in evaluating healthcare projects with a strong social impact. We thank the Order of Malta France and the International Foundation for their trust and commitment.
