Receiving this donation, Dr Aboubakar Mélé Djalo of the interministerial committee to fight against the coronavirus first recalled that “our country, through the executive, has very quickly implemented measures which have made it possible to set up a system response compared to disease surveillance".

This system has made it possible today "to curb all the cases that we may have had, but also to be able to foresee and make planning projections for the future," said Dr Mélé Djalo.
