The power cut in Koulikoro created serious problems for patients at the referral centre, whose generator was out of order. The hospital went 48 hours without electricity. It took a complaint from a relative of a patient to the president of the movement of women leaders, Mrs. Traoré Konimba Diarra, for the situation to be resolved. Thanks to the involvement of civil society, in particular Mrs. TRAORE Konimba DIARRA, president of the Koulikoro women leaders, and Mr. Sékouba COULIBALY, President of the Koulikoro Cercle Council, the problem has been resolved. Mrs. COULIBALY Mariam COULIALY, Central Prefect of Koulikoro, also contributed to the mobilization of the health authorities to start the generator in the event of a power cut.
The assistant to the head doctor of the Koulikoro CSREF, Issa MALE, confirmed that the breakdown of the generator, estimated at 900,000 FCFA, had been resolved thanks to the release of this sum. The mobilization of civil society was crucial for the resolution of this crisis, which endangered the lives of patients in hospital. The prefect of Koulikoro urges civil society to continue to inform local authorities of the problems encountered by the population in order to find rapid solutions together.
