    MALI: Two Staff Members of Doctors of the World Injured by an Improvised Explosive Device in Kidal

    On Wednesday 26 February 2014, at 12.05pm, a vehicle from Doctors of the World Mdecins du Monde (MdM) blew up on an improvised explosive device near the landing strip of the Kidal airport (Northern Mali). Both the driver and the passenger, a member of MdMs coordination team, were severely injured. Their life is not threatened. MdM is committed to the best possible care for the two members of its team and to bringing the necessary support to their family and colleagues. For the moment there is nothing indicating that MdM was directly targeted. In Kidal, as in the whole of the country, our teams are working continuously to provide impartial access to healthcare for vulnerable populations. In 2013, the MdM team in Kidal realised 99,300 health consultations and vaccinated around 15,000 children. MdM is active in Northern Mali and in particular the Kidal region since 2002. Our organization is currently supporting 36 health centres in the regions of Kidal and Gao. MdM is a medical Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) working under the principles of neutrality, impartiality and independence.
