Oltással a malária ellen

Kép: Since January 2014, MSF has been working in Mamadou M'Baiki health center - located in the PK5 district in Bangui - where we offer primary health care to children under 15. During the annual malaria peak, Mamadou M'Baiki health center can receive up to 800 children a week. In 2014, on our various projects in the PK5 area (health center + mobile clinics at the Grand Mosque and Kpéténé area) we have provided almost 40,000 consultations (29% for malaria cases. In CAR, health situation is catastrophic, indicators particularly degraded: malaria (first cause of morbidity and mortality) is endemic, every child under 5 years has an average of two attacks per year. Vaccination coverage is very low. The country has the highest prevalence of HIV-AIDS among the countries of Central Africa (between 5 and 10% depending on the area). The health system offers limited and expensive access to care, skilled medical human resources are lacking, drug supply problems are recurrent.
