Mali is 184 out of 189 on the Human Development Index and has the world’s second-highest infant mortality rate. Children are among the most vulnerable populations in Mali and are highly prone to malnutrition and dehydration. In addition, 14% of children receive no vaccines causing thousands of children to die every year due to preventable diseases such as pneumonia, diarrhea, and malaria. It is people like Dr. Adama Fomba who will help turn the tide of accessible healthcare in Mali.
Dr. Fomba is extremely passionate about improving children's health in Mali, Africa because he has seen firsthand how vulnerable children are to various illnesses and diseases. Dr. Fomba is from a village where he has seen immense suffering among the children, and he was determined to change that by becoming a pediatric doctor.
The Humanitarian Medical Clinic underwent a vast expansion in 2021. It increased to six medical departments including pediatrics, gynecology, ophthalmology, dentistry, urology, and general internal medicine thanks to generous donations from people like yourself and Embrace Relief’s partnership with Project C.U.R.E.
