Abstract

In Mali, the screening of populations vulnerable to Covid-19 is generally unsatisfactory, due to structural and socio-behavioral obstacles. The aim of this project is to quantify the missed opportunities for screening for Covid-19 in vulnerable populations (particularly people living with HIV). This is to show that with appropriate use of the human and institutional resources available, screening for Covid-19 for these populations could be improved. In summary: a project aimed at quantifying the missed opportunities for screening for Covid-19 in vulnerable populations (particularly people living with HIV).
