A new clinical center building, constructed as part of Project Muso's Community Based Malaria Program, opened its doors at the beginning of September. Since then, it has been the center for primary care for Yirimadjo's 26,000 citizens. The new facility was constructed and equipped by Project Muso in collaboration with the Yirimadjo Community Health Association and the Malian Ministry of Health, with support from the Larson Legacy Foundation, the Ella Lyman Cabot Trust, Ed Scott Ventures, and World Vision.
To sustainably increase the capacity of the government health system to provide care for malaria and other illnesses in the Yirimadjo area, the new 2900 square foot facility more than doubles the primary health care capacity in the area.Many features of the new facility are aimed a building health system capacity.
