About the project

Malisanté is an initiative that came into being in 2009. The idea was based on the lack of access to quality medical information and health professionals in Mali. It includes pages such as: Health in Mali, Science and Studies, Sexuality, Nutrition, Technology and Health. And also a directory of the medical structures in Mali. Malisanté.org now has 30,000 visits/month, compared with 700 visits/month in 2010.


In Africa, and particuarly in Mali, access to quality medical information is difficult to find. Malisante.org offers a solution to this need.


Malisanté is the only initiative of its kind in the West African sub-region. Its expertise in the medical and digital sectors make it truly distinctive. Malisanté meets the concrete needs of health professionals and patients.
