Intentional assaults and injuries are defined as the result of intentional physical attacks on the body of another person. The objective was to determine the clinical, etiological and socio-demographic aspects of Voluntary beatings and injuries in the Health District of Markala. This was a prospective study of cases of Intentional assaults and injuries in the Markala Health District from 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2022. Results: Out of 738 cases of traumatic pathologies, we recorded 274 cases of Intentional assaults and injuries, i.e. a frequency of 37.12%, with a male predominance of 79.80%. The injured were aged between 21 and 30 years, i.e. 41.24%. Peasants were the most affected with 35.76% of armed attacks occurring in 44.16%. Bladed weapons were the most used (53.28%), causing wounds in 39.05% of cases, with 34.30% of cases involving the head. Conclusion: Violence, a real problem in society, has reached worrying proportions in the Markala health district because of the resurgence of juvenile delinquency but also because of the security crisis that Mali is currently experiencing. This is a phenomenon of great magnitude which has led us to reflect on possible solutions to reduce this problem.
