In October 2021, HOPE’87, in cooperation with the City of Vienna, has started a project in the border region of Burkina Faso and Mali with the overall objective of preventing and controlling COVID-19 in the area. Therefore, the conditions for testing and treatment of COVID-19 were improved by the establishment of the “COVID-19 Check Unit” for temporary segregation of suspected cases, which will subsequently be taken over by the hospital, and the technical capacities of health personnel in the prevention of COVID-19 were increased through training measures.
