Malaria, danger rampant in Northern Mali
Thousands of patients in the region of Azawad in northern Mali suffer from the difficulty of getting the drugs they need. This is due to an irregular supply or totally absent in the modest basic health clinics located deep in the arid desert.
The number of people with infectious diseases such as malaria and cholera and child malnutrition, and even adults, is increasing during the rainy seasons. And the total absence of humanitarian organizations, namely in health, epidemics can only get worse.
According to Dr. Hassan Ala who runs the clinic in the village of Tahaninet Tijiriret located 140 km northeast of the city of Manka, "the epidemic that now threatens all the inhabitants of the region is malaria, due that appropriate remedies are no longer available in the pharmacy dispensary, increasing the suffering of patients and their families. "
The medical center, whose area is reduced, hosts about 150 different cases daily. But malaria sufferers are more numerous according to health officials there. "Today there is no injection to the pharmacy or oral solution, or even a tablet," added Dr. Hassan.
Mouadh The nurse, who runs the clinic Sikht, located in a village which is located about 50 km from the town of Gao, said for his part that "the shortage concerns of many drugs: tranquilizers, anticonvulsants, painkillers, drugs gastrointestinal, pediatric, gynecological medicines, drugs against hepatitis and urinary infection, vitamins, dermatological ointments and insulin. "
Mouadh also says that "some patients manage to acquire contraband drugs they purchase for traffickers, despite the danger of these remedies on their health, while many other patients stop seeking treatment and end on dying, for lack of medicines. "
Deploring the lack of financial bodies of the government and national movements Azawadiens, Mouadh explains that people and the medical setting alone and compete with their own epidemics before exclaim indignantly: "They are human beings who wait to be rescued today, not tomorrow; here and not in the afterlife !! Where are the financial bodies? Where is the World Health Organization? Where are the humanitarian organizations? "
Sidiki Mega health official in the city of Gao says, meanwhile, that the areas where these clinics are located are considered a red line: it is impossible to penetrate and escape unscathed, given the presence the scene of armed movements. "Certainly, the Malaria currently represents a major concern for Mali and the spread of the epidemic in this season is predictable. However, even if we try to cope as much as possible, we can not send health agencies in some areas for fear of kidnappings or assassinations. "Has he explained rejecting all responsibility for the deterioration of sanitary conditions in the region on armed factions and the unstable security situation.
Furthermore, and in addition to malaria, 200 children suffer from acute malnutrition ominously. Many cases among them become critical, according to officials of the clinic Tahaninet.
Aisha Mohamed Weld is a housewife around Manca. She complains to see deteriorate the condition of his son: "My son has suffered many crises but nobody found he was suffering from malaria before the 10 days elapse. We transported to clinic Sikht but we did not find any drugs. We then called some family members settled in Bamako who sent us the remedy. But now he takes intermittently. Lately, his health has deteriorated and he repeated heart ailments, so it is now completely isolated from his friends. "
Dr. Hassan Ala, Tahaninet clinic director considers the humanitarian situation as "complex and worrying, given that malaria is a chronic condition that worsens during the autumn storm is the longest season in the country because of poor sanitation and because of malnutrition. "
