In Ténenkou district, insecurity issues prevented our teams from running mobile clinics, so we relied on 33 community-based health workers to maintain basic health care in the district. When malaria transmission was at its peak during the rainy season, 82 MSF-trained community health workers provided testing and treatment for the disease.
In Gourma, Timbuktu region, we also launched community-based activities, including treatment for malaria and malnutrition for people who otherwise would have no access to health care, mainly due to the distance they would have to travel to reach health facilities and the current security situation.
In Koutiala district, we continue to run our large pediatric and nutrition program. In 2022, we also implemented a new mobile application called Antibiogo to help facilitate the diagnosis of antibiotic resistance and enable doctors to prescribe the most adequate antibiotics accordingly. In the capital, Bamako, we continued to support the Ministry of Health in tackling breast and cervical cancers by facilitating access to screening, diagnosis, and treatment.
