The authors assess the health impact of major diseases in the circles of Kita, Bafoulabé and Kenieba (Western Mali) by measuring, for each of them, the number of healthy days of life lost through illness, disability and death. Malaria, birth diseases, infant gastro-enteritis and pneumopathies, measles, malnutrition and hemoglobinopathies account for 58.1% of healthy life lost due to all studied diseases. Parasitic diseases (except malaria), tuberculosis, leprosy are less important than usually said; on the contrary, the impact of hepatic, cardiovascular, and eyes diseases is great. In developing countries assessing the number of healthy days lost by the community due to different diseases is usefull to choose the health priorities and to compare the cost/effectiveness ratio of different health programs.
