She expressed her deep gratitude to the WHO for its unwavering dedication to the fight against malaria.

« We need your support to strengthen the skills of our medical teams and optimize the diagnostic tools available in the field », she said. Dr. Abdoulatuf also thanked Dr. Mamadou Alpha Diallo for his expertise and commitment, which were invaluable resources during the training.

Speaking on behalf of the participants, Stéphane Nassurou stated that they are now trained to identify all malaria parasites. « We are now able to share our knowledge with other specialists in the field and hope to benefit from similar training programs in the coming years », he said.
