Mali, central laboratory of Koutiala hospital + blood donation day, June 2014.

End of 2013, MSF initiated the restructuring and renovation of the central laboratory of Koutiala hospital, where MSF manages the pediatric unit. MSF has added a department of bacteriology, operational since March 2014, to improve the diagnoses made in the laboratory and meet the requirements of quality of medical care at the hospital. Through the department of bacteriology, MSF is now able to diagnose all bacterial diseases which are affected children.
The laboratory also includes a blood bank. In 2013, more than 1,600 bags had been collected of which 16% provided by volunteer donors. On 14 June 2014, MSF organized, in partnership with the Ministry of Health, various promotional activities to promote voluntary blood donation, on the occasion of the World Blood Donor Day.
