As attacks intensified in 2025, we treated many patients with violence-related injuries. In Koro, MSF assisted refugees from Burkina Faso by offering basic health care, distributing household kits containing items such as soap and cooking equipment, and constructing water points, latrines, and showers.
In the capital, Bamako, we work with the Ministry of Health to improve diagnosis and treatment for women with breast cancer and cervical cancer. This included providing chemotherapy at Point G Hospital.
In September 2025, the Groupe de Soutien à l'Islam et aux Musulmans imposed a blockade, preventing the importation of fuel from neighboring countries. This had numerous consequences for our medical activities: Some people were unable to reach health facilities to seek care; patient referrals became slower and more costly; and some hospitals experienced power shortages.
Despite these challenges, as well as access constraints and physical attacks, our teams made every effort to maintain activities across the country, especially as reduced international funding and the withdrawal of several humanitarian organizations further diminished the provision of services and assistance.
