Global Partners in Hope’s (GPiH) journey in Mali, which began in 2008, has been nothing short of transformative, especially in addressing critical healthcare needs in underserved regions. Through collaboration with the Malian NGO CPAM, the Kallan Health Center was established, marking a significant milestone as the first modern health center in the Bako region. Since its inception, the center has played a vital role in providing accessible medical services, recording 2,707 births and conducting 67,354 medical consultations from 2011 to 2022. Each of those 2,707 births represents a mother and child who might not have survived without the facility and those 67,354 patients receiving alleviation from suffering.
What's especially remarkable is the center's economic sustainability. The center has been able to operate independently for over a decade, covering its expenses without relying on external funding. This not only ensures the center's continued operation but also frees up resources for expanding healthcare access to other regions in Mali - meaning the next donation dollar goes towards funding a new clinic in a new area!
Malian Nurse Practitioner, Dr. Daniel Sogoba’s leadership, alongside his local team at the Kallan Health Center, is undoubtedly pivotal in its success. Their personal dedication to the community and commitment to providing comprehensive care are evident in the center's long-standing achievements. The Kallan Center, with its local leadership and staff, is a testament to the transformative (and life-saving) power of dedicated partnerships and a sustainable approach to healthcare delivery.
