%X The counter-referral system is particularly
important for care during pregnancy, childbirth and the post-partum period as
it facilitates access to emergency obstetric and neonatal care. It allows
people to access care that is not likely to be provided at the base and to
manage certain complications arising </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">in
emergency settings. We therefore looked at the evaluation of obstetric</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> ev</span><span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">acuations from the Touba Ndamatou public
health. </span><b><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Methodology:</span></b><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> Thi</span></span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">s was a retrospective study of
descriptive and analytical type extending over a period of 12 months from
January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020 at the public hospital health
establishment (PHHE) of Touba Ndamatou. </span><b><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Results:</span></b><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> One th</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">ousand five hundred and sixty (1560) patients
